1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
10 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
12 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
16 * Fix some indexing issues.
18 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
20 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
24 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
25 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
26 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
27 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
28 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
30 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
31 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
36 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
37 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
38 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
39 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
41 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
42 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
43 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
47 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
48 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
50 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
54 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
55 policy. (Chris Prather)
57 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
58 on this new support policy. (doy)
62 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
63 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
64 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
66 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
67 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
69 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
73 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
74 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
75 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
76 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
83 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
84 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
87 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
91 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
92 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
94 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
95 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
99 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
100 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
101 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
102 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
103 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
104 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
106 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
107 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
109 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
110 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
111 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
112 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
114 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
115 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
117 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
122 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
123 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
125 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
129 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
130 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
131 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
133 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
137 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
138 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
139 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
141 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
142 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
145 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
146 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
149 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
150 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
151 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
153 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
154 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
159 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
160 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
161 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
162 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
164 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
165 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
167 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
168 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
170 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
171 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
172 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
173 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
175 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
176 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
177 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
180 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
181 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
182 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
183 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
185 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
186 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
189 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
190 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
191 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
193 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
197 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
198 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
199 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
201 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
202 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
203 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
206 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
207 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
208 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
210 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
211 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
212 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
214 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
215 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
219 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
220 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
221 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
223 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
224 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
225 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
226 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
228 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
232 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
233 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
234 value is a reference.
236 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
237 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
239 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
243 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
244 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
245 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
247 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
251 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
252 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
256 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
257 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
258 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
260 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
261 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
262 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
264 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
268 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
270 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
274 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
276 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
277 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
282 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
283 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
285 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
286 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
287 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
288 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
289 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
291 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
292 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
293 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
294 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
296 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
300 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
301 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
306 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
308 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
310 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
315 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
317 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
321 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
322 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
323 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
325 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
326 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
327 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
328 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
330 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
331 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
332 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
333 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
334 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
337 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
342 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
343 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
344 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
345 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
346 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
349 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
353 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
356 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
357 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
361 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
362 function (not just method). (doy)
366 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
367 and aren't easily installable/testable.
369 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
373 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
374 to be overridden more easily (doy).
376 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
380 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
381 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
383 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
387 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
388 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
389 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
391 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
395 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
396 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
397 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
399 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
400 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
404 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
405 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
407 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
408 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
412 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
413 is applied to a class (t0m).
415 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
416 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
418 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
421 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
422 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
424 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
425 be much more robust. (doy)
427 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
429 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
432 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
436 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
437 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
439 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
443 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
444 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
446 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
449 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
450 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
451 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
453 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
454 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
455 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
458 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
460 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
464 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
465 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
469 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
471 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
476 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
480 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
481 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
485 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
487 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
491 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
492 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
496 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
497 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
501 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
502 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
504 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
508 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
509 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
510 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
513 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
517 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
518 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
519 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
520 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
522 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
526 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
527 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
528 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
532 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
535 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
539 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
540 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
541 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
545 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
546 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
548 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
549 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
550 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
551 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
553 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
557 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
561 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
562 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
564 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
565 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
566 - Moose::Util::does_role
567 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
568 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
569 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
571 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
575 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
576 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
577 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
580 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
584 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
585 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
588 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
592 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
593 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
596 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
600 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
602 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
603 class. (Dave Rolsky).
605 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
606 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
607 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
609 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
610 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
611 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
614 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
615 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
617 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
618 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
619 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
621 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
623 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
624 substr et al, again. (sorear)
626 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
628 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
631 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
632 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
634 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
635 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
637 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
638 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
639 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
640 dependencies installed.
642 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
643 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
646 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
648 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
652 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
655 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
656 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
658 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
659 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
660 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
662 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
663 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
666 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
667 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
668 others. (nothingmuch)
670 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
671 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
672 remove_accessors. (doy)
674 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
675 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
676 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
679 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
681 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
682 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
683 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
684 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
687 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
688 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
691 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
693 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
695 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
696 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
700 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
701 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
702 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
703 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
705 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
706 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
707 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
708 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
709 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
710 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
711 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
714 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
715 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
716 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
717 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
718 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
720 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
721 which were not receiving the value of
722 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
723 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
724 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
725 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
729 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
730 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
731 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
732 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
733 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
737 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
738 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
739 - added tests for this (Stevan)
742 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
743 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
744 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
747 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
749 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
752 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
753 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
756 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
757 class if you pass it options for
758 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
759 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
760 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
761 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
762 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
763 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
764 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
765 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
766 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
768 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
769 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
770 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
771 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
772 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
775 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
777 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
778 existing delegation API. (hdp)
780 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
781 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
782 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
783 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
784 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
785 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
788 * Moose::Error::Croak
789 * Moose::Error::Confess
790 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
791 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
794 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
797 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
798 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
799 installing a broken sub. (doy)
802 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
805 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
806 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
807 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
809 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
810 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
811 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
812 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
813 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
815 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
816 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
819 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
821 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
822 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
825 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
826 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
828 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
829 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
830 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
831 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
834 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
835 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
836 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
837 using it for new code!
839 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
840 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
841 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
842 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
844 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
845 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
846 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
847 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
848 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
849 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
850 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
851 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
854 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
857 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
858 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
862 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
865 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
866 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
870 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
871 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
874 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
875 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
877 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
878 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
879 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
882 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
883 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
884 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
885 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
886 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
887 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
889 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
891 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
895 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
896 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
898 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
899 associated_methods. (hdp)
900 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
901 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
902 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
903 misspelled) arguments
905 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
906 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
907 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
908 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
910 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
911 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
912 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
914 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
918 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
919 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
922 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
923 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
925 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
927 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
928 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
930 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
931 * Moose::Manual::Types
932 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
933 string parsing rathole (mst)
935 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
936 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
937 using plain objects instead
939 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
940 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
943 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
945 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
946 three times today (perigrin)
947 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
948 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
951 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
952 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
953 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
956 - A role's required methods are now represented by
957 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
958 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
959 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
960 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
961 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
964 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
965 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
966 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
967 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
970 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
972 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
975 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
977 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
980 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
981 during global destruction. This method has been made more
982 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
986 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
987 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
990 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
991 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
993 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
994 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
995 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
998 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1000 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1001 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1004 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1008 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1009 methods during global destruction (doy)
1011 * Moose::Meta::Class
1012 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1013 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1014 consumption (Sartak)
1016 * Moose::Meta::Class
1017 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1018 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1021 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1022 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1025 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1026 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1028 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1030 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1034 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1035 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1036 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1039 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1040 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1041 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1044 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1046 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1047 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1048 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1051 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1052 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1053 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1054 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1056 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1057 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1058 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1061 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1064 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1065 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1066 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1070 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1071 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1073 * Moose::Meta::Class
1074 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1076 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1078 * Moose::Meta::Class
1079 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1080 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1083 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1084 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1087 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1088 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1091 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1094 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1096 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1097 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1100 * Moose::Meta::Class
1101 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1103 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1104 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1107 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1108 * More deprecations and renamings
1109 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1110 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1111 when an object is constructed)
1114 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1115 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1116 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1118 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1119 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1120 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1121 feature, and it works again.
1124 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1126 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1128 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1129 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1130 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1133 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1134 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1135 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1136 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1139 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1140 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1141 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1142 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1145 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1146 metaclass object. (hdp)
1148 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1149 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1150 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1151 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1152 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1153 point out this fact. (hdp)
1155 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1156 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1158 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1159 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1161 * Moose::Meta::Class
1162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1163 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1164 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1165 called during instance construction were passed the
1166 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1167 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1169 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1170 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1173 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1174 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1175 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1178 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1179 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1180 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1181 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1182 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1184 - Moose::Meta::Class
1185 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1187 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1188 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1189 when an object is constructed)
1190 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1192 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1193 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1194 when an object is constructed)
1195 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1196 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1197 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1200 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1202 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1203 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1205 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1207 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1208 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1209 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1212 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1213 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1215 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1217 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1218 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1220 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1221 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1224 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1225 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1228 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1229 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1230 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1233 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1237 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1238 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1239 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1242 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1245 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1246 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1247 with recommended workarounds.
1249 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1250 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1253 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1254 (yes, spelled like that).
1256 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1257 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1259 * Moose::Meta::Class
1260 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1261 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1263 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1266 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1267 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1268 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1269 instead. Reported by doy.
1271 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1273 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1274 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1277 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1278 message) is now deprecated.
1279 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1280 often got it wrong. For example:
1282 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1284 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1288 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1289 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1290 bite you in weird cases.
1292 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1293 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1294 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1295 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1297 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1298 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1302 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1305 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1306 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1309 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1310 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1313 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1316 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1317 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1318 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1319 - added tests for this (stevan)
1321 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1322 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1323 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1324 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1328 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1329 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1330 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1331 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1333 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1334 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1335 - added tests for this (rafl)
1337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1338 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1339 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1340 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1344 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1345 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1349 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1350 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1352 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1354 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1355 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1357 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1358 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1359 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1360 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1361 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1364 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1365 error message did not specify the attribute name
1368 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1370 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1372 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1373 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1374 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1376 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1377 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1380 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1382 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1383 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1384 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1385 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1387 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1389 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1390 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1391 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1392 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1394 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1395 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1396 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1399 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1400 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1401 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1402 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1404 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1405 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1406 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1407 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1408 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1410 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1411 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1412 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1413 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1414 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1415 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1417 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1418 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1419 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1420 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1421 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1422 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1425 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1427 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1428 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1429 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1430 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1433 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1436 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1440 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1441 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1443 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1444 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1445 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1446 guts. (nothingmuch).
1448 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1450 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1453 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1454 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1455 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1457 * Moose::Meta::Class
1458 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1461 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1462 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1464 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1465 * Moose::Unsweetened
1466 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1469 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1470 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1471 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1472 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1473 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1474 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1477 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1478 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1479 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1480 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1481 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1482 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1483 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1484 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1485 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1487 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1489 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1490 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1492 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1493 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1494 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1495 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1497 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1498 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1499 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1500 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1501 same methods for a single role did not work
1502 right (worked just fine with multiple
1504 - added test for this (stevan)
1506 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1507 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1508 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1511 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1512 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1513 - added test for this (t0m)
1516 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1517 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1518 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1520 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1521 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1522 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1523 - added test for this (t0m)
1525 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1526 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1527 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1528 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1529 - added test for this (perigrin)
1532 - create method for constructing a role
1533 dynamically (Sartak)
1534 - added test for this (Sartak)
1535 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1536 - added test for this (Sartak)
1539 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1541 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1542 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1543 methods is useful (Sartak)
1545 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1547 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1550 * Moose::Meta::Class
1551 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1552 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1553 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1554 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1555 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1556 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1559 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1560 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1562 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1563 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1564 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1565 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1566 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1568 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1570 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1571 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1572 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1575 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1576 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1577 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1578 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1579 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1580 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1583 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1584 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1585 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1586 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1587 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1588 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1589 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1590 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1591 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1592 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1593 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1596 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1599 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1600 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1601 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1602 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1603 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1605 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1607 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1608 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1609 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1611 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1612 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1615 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1616 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1617 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1620 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1621 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1623 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1625 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1626 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1628 * Moose::Meta::Class
1629 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1630 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1631 a required attribute
1633 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1635 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1636 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1638 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1639 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1642 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1643 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1644 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1645 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1646 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1647 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1648 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1650 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1651 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1652 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1654 * Roles and role application
1655 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1656 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1657 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1658 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1659 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1661 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1662 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1665 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1666 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1667 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1668 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1669 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1672 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1673 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1674 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1675 changes in the Moose internals.
1677 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1679 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1682 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1683 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1684 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1685 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1687 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1688 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1689 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1690 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1692 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1693 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1694 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1695 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1696 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1697 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1698 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1699 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1700 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1701 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1702 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1703 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1704 constraint implementations.
1706 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1710 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1711 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1712 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1713 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1714 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1715 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1716 - added tests for this (rafl)
1718 * Moose::Meta::Class
1719 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1720 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1721 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1722 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1723 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1724 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1725 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1726 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1729 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1730 - added tests for this (thepler)
1732 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1733 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1734 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1735 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1738 * Moose::Meta::Class
1739 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1740 * Moose::Meta::Method
1743 * Moose::Error::Default
1744 * Moose::Error::Croak
1745 * Moose::Error::Confess
1746 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1747 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1748 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1749 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1750 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1751 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1753 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1755 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1756 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1758 * Moose::Unsweetened
1759 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1760 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1761 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1764 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1765 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1766 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1767 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1770 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1771 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1773 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1774 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1775 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1776 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1779 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1781 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1782 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1784 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1787 - Various bug fixes.
1789 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1790 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1792 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1794 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1795 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1796 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1797 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1798 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1799 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1801 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1802 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1803 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1805 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1806 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1807 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1810 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1811 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1812 dependency to 0.64_07.
1814 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1815 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1816 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1819 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1822 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1823 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1824 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1825 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1826 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1827 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1829 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1830 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1832 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1834 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1835 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1839 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1840 method when that method was provided by another role being
1841 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1842 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1844 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1846 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1847 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1849 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1850 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1851 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1852 - added test for this (t0m)
1854 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1855 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1856 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1858 - added test for this (t0m)
1861 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1862 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1863 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1866 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1867 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1869 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1871 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1872 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1874 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1875 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1876 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1878 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1879 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1883 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1884 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1885 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1889 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1890 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1891 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1894 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1895 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1896 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1897 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1900 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1904 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1905 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1906 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1908 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1910 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1911 created so that the process can be more easily
1912 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1914 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1915 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1916 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1917 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1920 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1923 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1924 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1926 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1927 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1928 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1930 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1931 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1932 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1934 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1935 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1937 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1938 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1941 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1942 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1946 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1947 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1949 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1950 ... this is not my day today ...
1952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1953 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1954 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1955 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1956 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1959 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1960 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1961 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1962 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1963 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1966 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1968 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1969 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1970 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1971 this is not ever something you want to do
1972 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1973 - added tests for this (stevan)
1976 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1978 - added test for this
1980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1981 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1982 - added tests for this (wreis)
1984 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1985 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1986 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1987 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1989 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1990 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1991 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1994 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1996 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1998 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2001 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2002 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2003 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2004 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2005 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2006 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2007 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2008 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2009 - added tests for this
2011 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2012 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2013 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2014 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2016 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2019 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2020 - added tests for this (sartak)
2021 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2022 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2025 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2027 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2028 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2030 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2032 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2033 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2035 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2037 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2038 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2041 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2199 ->body when looping through the
2200 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2202 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2203 eating the $@ values, and so not
2204 working correctly, it still kind of
2205 eats them, but so does vanilla perl

2346 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2348 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2685 - fixed how required methods are handled
2686 when they encounter overriden or modified
2687 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2688 - added tests for this
2690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2691 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2692 the | always creates a union and so is
2693 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2694 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2696 - added more tests for this
2698 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2701 * Parameterized Types
2702 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2703 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2704 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2705 They can also be nested:
2706 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2707 And work with the type unions as well:
2708 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2710 * Better Framework Extendability
2711 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2712 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2713 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2714 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2717 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2718 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2719 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2720 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2723 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2725 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2892 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2895 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2896 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2897 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2898 - added tests for this
2900 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2902 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2924 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2926 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007

2928 so this release is just to fix that.
2931 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2932 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2933 (thanks to konobi for this)

2945 functions to facilitate introspection.
2947 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2951 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2953 - added tests and docs for this
2954 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2955 so that you can actually document your
2956 attributes and inspect them through the
2958 - added tests and docs for this
2960 * Moose::Meta::Class
2961 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2962 it will first look in for the class in the
2963 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2964 then default to just loading $name.
2965 - added tests and docs for this
2967 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2968 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2969 - added test for this
2972 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2973 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2974 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2975 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2977 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2978 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2981 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2983 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2984 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2985 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2988 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2989 !! for this developer release to work !!
2991 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2992 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2993 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2994 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2995 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2996 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2997 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2998 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2999 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3000 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3001 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3003 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3004 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3005 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3006 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3009 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3011 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3012 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3013 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3015 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3017 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3018 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3021 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3022 called unless they actually need to be.
3023 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3024 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3025 DEMOLISH method present.
3027 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3029 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3030 type constraint, which allows for a
3031 hand optimized version of the type
3032 constraint to be used when possible.
3033 - Any internally created type constraints
3034 now provide an optimized version as well.
3036 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3038 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3039 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3040 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3042 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3043 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3044 your class namespace of these exported
3047 * Moose::Meta::Class
3048 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3049 comes up during global destruction
3051 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3055 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3059 - changed how we do type checks so that
3060 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3063 - moved accessor generation methods to
3064 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3065 conform to the API changes from
3068 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3069 - changed how constraints are compiled
3070 so that we do less recursion and more
3071 iteration. This makes the type check
3073 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3076 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3077 - created this from methods formerly found in
3078 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3080 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3081 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3084 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3086 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3087 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3089 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3092 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3093 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3094 - added tests for this
3095 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3096 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3097 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3098 - removed tests for this
3100 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3102 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3103 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3104 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3107 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3108 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3109 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3111 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3112 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3113 comments for more info.
3116 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3117 asked questions and common problems
3119 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3120 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3121 - added tests for this
3123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3124 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3125 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3126 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3128 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3129 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3132 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3133 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3134 is much appreciated :)
3135 - added tests for this
3137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3138 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3139 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3143 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3145 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3147 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3148 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3152 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3153 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3154 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3156 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3158 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3161 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3162 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3163 keywords because we need to localize them.
3164 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3166 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3167 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3168 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3171 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3175 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3176 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3179 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3180 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3181 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3183 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3185 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3186 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3187 bottom of your class file.
3190 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3193 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3195 - improved error message when loading modules so
3196 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3197 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3198 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3201 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3202 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3203 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3206 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3208 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3209 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3210 turn them on for you.
3211 - added tests for this

3240 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3241 - This release works in combination with
3242 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3243 release because it uses the a new
3244 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3245 complete Role implementation. It has
3246 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3247 the the previous CPAN version. This
3248 release also lacks good updated docs,
3249 the official release will have updated docs.
3252 - refactored the keyword exports
3253 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3254 accepts more than one Role at a time

3273 - much work done on the role composition
3274 - many new tests for conflict detection
3275 and composition edge cases
3276 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3277 looking at the tests

3302 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3303 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3304 on a per-attribute basis
3305 - added tests for this
3306 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3307 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
