1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
7 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
8 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
10 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
11 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
15 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
16 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
18 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
19 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
23 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
24 is applied to a class (t0m).
26 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
27 twice in the same sentance (Florian Ragwitz).
29 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
32 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
33 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
35 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
39 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
40 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
42 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
46 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
47 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
49 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
52 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
53 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
54 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
56 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
57 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
58 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
61 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
63 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
67 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
68 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
72 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
74 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
78 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
79 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
83 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
84 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
88 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
94 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
95 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
99 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
100 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
104 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
105 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
107 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
111 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
112 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
113 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
116 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
120 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
121 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
122 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
123 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
125 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
129 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
130 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
131 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
135 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
138 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
143 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
144 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
148 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
149 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
151 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
152 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
153 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
154 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
156 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
160 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
164 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
165 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
167 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
168 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
169 - Moose::Util::does_role
170 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
171 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
172 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
174 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
178 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
179 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
180 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
183 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
187 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
188 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
191 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
195 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
196 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
199 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
203 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
205 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
206 class. (Dave Rolsky).
208 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
209 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
210 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
212 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
213 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
214 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
217 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
218 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
220 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
221 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
222 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
224 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
226 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
227 substr et al, again. (sorear)
229 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
231 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
234 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
235 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
237 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
238 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
240 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
241 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
242 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
243 dependencies installed.
245 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
246 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
249 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
251 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
255 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
258 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
259 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
261 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
262 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
263 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
265 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
266 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
269 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
270 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
271 others. (nothingmuch)
273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
274 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
275 remove_accessors. (doy)
277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
278 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
279 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
282 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
284 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
285 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
286 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
287 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
290 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
291 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
294 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
296 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
298 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
299 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
303 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
304 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
305 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
306 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
308 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
310 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
311 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
312 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
313 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
314 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
317 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
318 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
319 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
320 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
321 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
323 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
324 which were not receiving the value of
325 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
326 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
327 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
328 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
332 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
333 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
334 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
335 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
336 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
340 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
341 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
342 - added tests for this (Stevan)
345 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
346 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
347 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
350 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
352 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
355 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
356 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
359 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
360 class if you pass it options for
361 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
362 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
363 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
364 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
365 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
366 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
367 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
368 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
369 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
371 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
372 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
373 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
374 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
375 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
378 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
380 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
381 existing delegation API. (hdp)
383 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
384 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
385 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
386 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
387 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
388 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
391 * Moose::Error::Croak
392 * Moose::Error::Confess
393 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
394 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
397 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
400 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
401 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
402 installing a broken sub. (doy)
405 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
408 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
409 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
410 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
412 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
413 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
414 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
415 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
416 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
418 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
419 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
422 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
424 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
425 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
428 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
429 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
432 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
433 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
434 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
437 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
438 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
439 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
440 using it for new code!
442 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
443 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
444 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
445 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
447 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
448 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
449 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
450 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
451 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
452 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
453 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
454 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
457 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
460 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
461 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
465 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
467 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
468 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
469 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
473 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
474 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
477 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
478 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
481 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
482 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
485 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
486 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
487 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
488 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
489 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
490 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
492 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
494 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
498 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
499 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
501 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
502 associated_methods. (hdp)
503 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
504 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
505 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
506 misspelled) arguments
508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
509 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
510 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
511 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
515 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
517 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
520 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
521 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
522 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
525 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
526 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
528 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
530 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
531 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
533 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
534 * Moose::Manual::Types
535 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
536 string parsing rathole (mst)
538 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
539 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
540 using plain objects instead
542 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
543 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
546 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
548 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
549 three times today (perigrin)
550 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
551 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
554 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
555 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
556 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
559 - A role's required methods are now represented by
560 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
561 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
562 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
563 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
564 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
567 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
568 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
569 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
570 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
573 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
575 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
578 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
580 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
583 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
584 during global destruction. This method has been made more
585 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
589 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
590 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
593 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
594 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
596 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
597 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
598 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
601 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
603 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
604 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
607 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
611 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
612 methods during global destruction (doy)
615 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
616 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
620 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
621 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
624 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
625 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
628 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
629 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
631 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
633 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
637 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
638 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
639 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
642 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
643 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
644 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
647 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
649 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
650 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
651 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
655 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
656 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
657 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
659 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
660 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
661 of the Moose core (Sartak)
664 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
667 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
668 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
669 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
673 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
674 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
677 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
679 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
682 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
683 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
686 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
687 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
690 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
691 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
694 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
697 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
700 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
704 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
706 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
707 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
710 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
711 * More deprecations and renamings
712 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
713 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
714 when an object is constructed)
717 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
718 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
719 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
722 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
723 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
724 feature, and it works again.
727 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
729 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
731 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
732 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
733 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
736 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
737 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
738 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
739 message. Test provided by perigrin.
741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
742 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
743 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
744 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
745 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
748 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
749 metaclass object. (hdp)
751 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
752 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
753 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
754 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
755 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
756 point out this fact. (hdp)
758 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
759 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
761 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
762 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
765 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
766 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
767 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
768 called during instance construction were passed the
769 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
770 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
772 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
773 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
776 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
777 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
778 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
781 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
782 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
783 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
784 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
785 them, but they are not for "public" use.
788 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
790 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
791 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
792 when an object is constructed)
793 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
795 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
796 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
797 when an object is constructed)
798 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
799 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
800 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
803 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
805 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
806 * No changes from 0.72_01.
808 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
810 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
811 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
812 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
815 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
816 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
818 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
820 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
821 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
823 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
824 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
827 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
828 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
831 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
832 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
833 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
835 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
836 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
840 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
841 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
842 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
844 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
845 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
848 * Moose::Manual::Delta
849 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
850 with recommended workarounds.
852 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
853 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
855 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
856 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
857 (yes, spelled like that).
859 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
860 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
863 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
864 changes in latest Class::MOP.
866 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
868 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
869 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
870 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
871 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
872 instead. Reported by doy.
874 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
876 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
877 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
880 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
881 message) is now deprecated.
882 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
883 often got it wrong. For example:
885 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
887 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
891 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
892 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
893 bite you in weird cases.
895 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
896 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
897 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
900 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
901 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
905 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
908 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
909 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
912 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
913 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
915 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
916 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
919 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
921 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
922 - added tests for this (stevan)
924 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
925 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
926 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
927 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
931 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
932 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
933 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
934 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
936 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
937 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
938 - added tests for this (rafl)
940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
941 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
942 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
943 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
947 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
948 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
951 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
952 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
953 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
955 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
957 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
958 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
961 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
962 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
963 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
964 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
966 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
967 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
968 error message did not specify the attribute name
971 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
973 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
975 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
976 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
977 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
979 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
980 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
983 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
985 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
986 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
987 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
988 of fixes and formatting improvements.
990 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
992 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
993 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
994 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
995 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
997 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
998 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
999 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1001 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1002 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1003 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1004 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1005 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1008 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1009 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1010 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1011 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1014 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1015 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1016 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1017 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1018 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1020 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1021 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1022 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1023 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1024 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1025 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1027 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1028 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1030 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1031 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1032 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1033 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1035 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1036 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1039 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1043 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1044 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1047 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1048 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1049 guts. (nothingmuch).
1051 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1053 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1056 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1057 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1058 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1060 * Moose::Meta::Class
1061 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1064 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1065 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1068 * Moose::Unsweetened
1069 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1072 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1073 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1074 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1075 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1076 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1077 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1079 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1080 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1081 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1082 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1083 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1084 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1085 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1087 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1088 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1090 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1092 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1093 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1095 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1096 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1097 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1098 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1100 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1101 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1102 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1103 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1104 same methods for a single role did not work
1105 right (worked just fine with multiple
1107 - added test for this (stevan)
1109 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1110 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1111 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1114 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1115 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1116 - added test for this (t0m)
1119 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1120 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1121 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1124 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1125 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1126 - added test for this (t0m)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1129 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1130 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1131 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1132 - added test for this (perigrin)
1135 - create method for constructing a role
1136 dynamically (Sartak)
1137 - added test for this (Sartak)
1138 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1139 - added test for this (Sartak)
1142 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1144 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1145 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1146 methods is useful (Sartak)
1148 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1150 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1153 * Moose::Meta::Class
1154 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1155 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1156 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1157 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1158 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1162 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1163 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1165 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1166 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1167 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1168 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1169 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1171 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1173 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1174 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1175 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1178 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1179 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1180 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1181 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1182 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1183 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1186 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1187 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1188 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1189 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1190 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1191 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1192 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1193 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1194 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1195 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1196 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1199 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1202 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1203 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1204 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1205 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1206 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1208 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1210 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1211 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1212 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1214 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1215 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1217 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1218 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1219 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1220 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1223 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1224 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1226 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1228 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1229 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1231 * Moose::Meta::Class
1232 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1233 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1234 a required attribute
1236 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1238 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1239 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1241 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1242 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1244 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1245 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1246 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1247 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1248 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1249 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1250 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1251 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1253 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1254 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1255 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1257 * Roles and role application
1258 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1259 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1260 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1261 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1262 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1264 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1265 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1268 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1269 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1270 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1271 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1272 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1275 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1276 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1277 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1278 changes in the Moose internals.
1280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1282 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1285 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1286 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1287 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1288 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1291 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1292 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1293 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1295 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1296 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1297 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1298 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1299 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1300 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1301 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1302 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1303 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1304 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1305 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1306 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1307 constraint implementations.
1309 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1313 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1314 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1315 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1316 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1317 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1318 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1319 - added tests for this (rafl)
1321 * Moose::Meta::Class
1322 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1323 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1324 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1325 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1326 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1327 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1328 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1329 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1332 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1333 - added tests for this (thepler)
1335 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1336 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1337 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1338 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1341 * Moose::Meta::Class
1342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1343 * Moose::Meta::Method
1346 * Moose::Error::Default
1347 * Moose::Error::Croak
1348 * Moose::Error::Confess
1349 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1350 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1351 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1352 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1353 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1354 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1356 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1358 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1359 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1361 * Moose::Unsweetened
1362 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then

1364 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1367 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1368 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1369 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1370 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1373 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1374 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)

1377 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1378 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1379 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1385 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1387 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1390 - Various bug fixes.

1426 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1427 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1428 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1429 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1430 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1433 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

1459 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1461 - added test for this (t0m)
1464 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1465 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1466 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1469 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1470 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1472 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1475 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1477 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1553 ... this is not my day today ...
1555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1556 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1557 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1558 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1559 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1562 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1563 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1564 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1565 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1566 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1569 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1571 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1572 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1604 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1605 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1606 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1607 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1608 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1609 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1610 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1611 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1612 - added tests for this
1614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1615 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1616 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1725 XS based functionality is now optional
1726 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

1831 drink more coffee before
1832 doing release engineering

2091 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2092 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2093 method in the first place ;)
2095 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008

2158 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2159 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2160 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2204 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2205 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2206 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2223 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2242 - added tests for this
2245 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2246 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2285 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2288 - fixed how required methods are handled
2289 when they encounter overriden or modified
2290 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2291 - added tests for this
2293 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2294 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2295 the | always creates a union and so is
2296 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2297 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2299 - added more tests for this
2301 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2304 * Parameterized Types
2305 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2306 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2307 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2308 They can also be nested:
2309 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2310 And work with the type unions as well:
2311 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2313 * Better Framework Extendability
2314 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2315 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2316 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2317 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2320 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2321 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2322 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2323 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2326 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2328 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2329 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2389 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2391 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2477 the other side (perigrin)
2479 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2481 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2482 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2483 prototypes for functions
2484 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2485 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2500 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2501 - added tests for this
2503 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2505 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2531 so this release is just to fix that.
2534 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2535 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

2548 functions to facilitate introspection.
2550 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2552 to build the list of delegated methods
2553 correctly (and not override important
2554 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2556 - added tests and docs for this
2557 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2558 so that you can actually document your
2559 attributes and inspect them through the
2561 - added tests and docs for this
2563 * Moose::Meta::Class
2564 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2565 it will first look in for the class in the
2566 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2567 then default to just loading $name.
2568 - added tests and docs for this
2570 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2571 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2572 - added test for this
2575 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2577 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2578 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2580 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2581 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2584 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2586 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2587 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2588 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2591 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2592 !! for this developer release to work !!
2594 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2595 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2596 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2597 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2598 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2599 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2600 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2601 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2602 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2603 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2604 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2606 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2607 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2608 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2609 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2612 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2614 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2615 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2616 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2618 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2620 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2621 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2624 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2625 called unless they actually need to be.
2626 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2627 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2628 DEMOLISH method present.
2630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2631 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2632 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2633 type constraint, which allows for a
2634 hand optimized version of the type
2635 constraint to be used when possible.
2636 - Any internally created type constraints
2637 now provide an optimized version as well.
2639 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2641 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2642 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2643 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2646 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2647 your class namespace of these exported
2650 * Moose::Meta::Class
2651 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2652 comes up during global destruction
2654 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2658 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2662 - changed how we do type checks so that
2663 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2666 - moved accessor generation methods to
2667 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2668 conform to the API changes from
2671 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2672 - changed how constraints are compiled
2673 so that we do less recursion and more
2674 iteration. This makes the type check
2676 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2680 - created this from methods formerly found in
2681 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2683 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2684 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2686 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2687 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2689 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2690 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2692 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2695 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2696 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2697 - added tests for this
2698 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2699 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2700 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2701 - removed tests for this
2703 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2705 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2706 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2707 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2710 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2711 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2712 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2714 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2715 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2716 comments for more info.
2719 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2720 asked questions and common problems
2722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2723 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2724 - added tests for this
2726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2727 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2728 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2729 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2731 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2732 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2735 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2736 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2737 is much appreciated :)
2738 - added tests for this
2740 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2741 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2742 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2745 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2746 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2748 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2750 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2751 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2755 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2756 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2757 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2759 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2761 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2764 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2765 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2766 keywords because we need to localize them.
2767 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2769 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2770 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2771 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2774 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2778 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2779 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2782 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2783 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2784 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2786 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2788 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2789 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2790 bottom of your class file.
2793 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2796 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2798 - improved error message when loading modules so
2799 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2800 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2801 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2804 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2805 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2806 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2809 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2811 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2812 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2813 turn them on for you.
2814 - added tests for this
2815 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2816 in Moose::Meta::Class
2819 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2820 automatically turned on for you.

2824 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2825 - added tests for this

2842 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2843 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2844 - This release works in combination with
2845 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2846 release because it uses the a new
2847 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2848 complete Role implementation. It has
2849 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2850 the the previous CPAN version. This
2851 release also lacks good updated docs,
2852 the official release will have updated docs.
2855 - refactored the keyword exports
2856 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2857 accepts more than one Role at a time
2858 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2859 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2862 - refactored the keyword exports
2863 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2864 accepts more than one Role at a time
2866 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2867 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2868 string enumerations which can be used as
2870 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2873 - more careful checking of params to new()
2876 - much work done on the role composition
2877 - many new tests for conflict detection
2878 and composition edge cases
2879 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2880 looking at the tests
2882 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2883 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2884 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2886 * Moose::Meta::Class
2887 - some small changes to support the new
2889 - some small additions to support Roles
2891 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2892 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2894 - some small changes to support the new
2896 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2897 with the 'handles' option
2898 - added several tests for this
2899 - no docs for this yet
2901 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2903 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2904 thanks to chansen for this commit
2905 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2906 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2907 on a per-attribute basis
2908 - added tests for this
2909 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2910 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2911 experimental feature and probably not finished
