1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
10 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
11 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
12 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
14 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
18 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
20 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
24 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
25 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
26 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
29 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
31 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
35 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
37 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
41 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
42 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
46 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
47 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
48 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
49 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
50 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
55 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
56 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
57 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
58 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
60 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
61 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
62 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
64 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
65 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
66 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
67 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
69 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
70 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
71 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
72 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
74 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
75 package which was deleted. (doy)
77 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
81 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
83 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
87 * Minor documentation fixes.
89 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
92 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
96 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
97 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
99 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
103 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
105 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
109 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
111 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
114 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
118 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
120 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
121 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
125 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
126 more values were required. (rjbs)
128 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
132 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
133 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
137 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
138 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
139 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
140 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
142 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
143 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
144 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
146 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
147 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
150 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
151 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
152 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
153 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
157 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
158 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
159 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
160 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
163 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
167 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
168 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
169 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
171 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
172 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
173 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
175 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
176 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
177 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
179 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
180 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
183 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
184 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
185 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
187 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
188 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
191 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
192 the associated stash. (doy)
196 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
197 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
198 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
199 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
201 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
205 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
206 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
207 the attribute's reference.
211 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
212 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
217 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
218 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
219 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
222 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
223 the Object constraint).
225 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
229 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
230 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
235 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
237 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
241 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
244 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
246 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
250 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
252 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
256 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
259 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
260 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
261 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
263 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
266 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
270 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
272 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
276 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
278 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
282 * Include changes from 2.0010.
284 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
288 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
289 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
293 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
294 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
295 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
300 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
302 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
306 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
307 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
309 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
313 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
315 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
319 * Various packaging issues.
321 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
325 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
326 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
331 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
332 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
333 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
337 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
338 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
339 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
341 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
345 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
346 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
348 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
352 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
353 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
355 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
358 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
359 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
363 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
364 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
366 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
370 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
371 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
375 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
377 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
381 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
383 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
387 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
388 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
390 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
394 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
396 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
400 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
402 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
403 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
405 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
409 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
410 skips every other role. (rjbs)
412 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
413 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
414 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
415 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
416 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
418 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
422 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
423 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
424 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
427 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
432 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
434 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
435 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
437 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
441 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
442 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
443 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
447 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
448 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
450 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
451 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
453 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
454 environments. (doy, mateu)
456 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
460 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
461 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
462 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
463 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
467 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
468 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
470 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
474 * Update conflicts list.
477 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
481 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
482 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
483 details. (Dave Rolsky)
485 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
486 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
487 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
488 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
489 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
493 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
494 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
495 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
496 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
497 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
500 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
504 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
505 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
507 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
510 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
514 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
515 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
516 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
517 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
519 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
520 immutable classes). (mo)
522 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
523 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
524 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
526 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
530 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
532 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
534 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
538 * Fix some indexing issues.
540 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
542 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
546 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
547 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
548 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
549 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
550 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
552 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
553 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
558 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
559 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
560 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
561 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
563 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
564 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
565 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
569 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
570 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
573 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
577 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
578 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
582 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
586 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
587 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
588 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
589 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
592 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
596 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
599 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
603 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
604 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
605 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
608 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
612 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
613 policy. (Chris Prather)
615 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
616 on this new support policy. (doy)
620 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
621 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
622 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
624 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
625 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
627 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
631 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
632 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
633 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
634 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
637 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
641 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
642 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
645 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
649 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
650 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
652 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
653 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
657 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
658 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
659 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
660 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
661 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
662 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
664 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
665 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
667 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
668 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
669 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
670 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
672 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
673 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
675 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
680 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
681 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
683 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
687 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
688 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
689 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
691 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
695 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
696 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
697 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
699 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
700 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
703 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
704 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
707 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
708 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
709 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
711 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
712 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
717 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
718 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
719 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
720 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
722 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
723 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
725 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
726 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
728 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
729 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
730 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
731 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
733 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
734 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
735 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
738 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
739 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
740 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
741 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
743 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
744 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
747 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
748 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
749 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
751 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
755 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
756 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
757 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
759 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
760 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
761 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
764 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
765 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
766 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
768 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
769 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
770 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
772 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
773 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
777 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
778 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
779 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
781 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
782 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
783 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
784 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
786 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
790 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
791 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
792 value is a reference.
794 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
795 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
797 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
801 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
802 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
803 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
805 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
809 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
810 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
814 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
815 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
816 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
818 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
819 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
820 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
822 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
826 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
828 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
832 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
834 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
835 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
840 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
841 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
843 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
844 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
845 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
846 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
847 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
849 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
850 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
851 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
852 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
854 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
858 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
859 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
864 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
866 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
868 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
873 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
875 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
879 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
880 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
881 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
883 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
884 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
885 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
886 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
888 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
889 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
890 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
891 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
892 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
895 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
900 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
901 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
902 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
903 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
904 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
907 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
911 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
914 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
915 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
919 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
920 function (not just method). (doy)
924 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
925 and aren't easily installable/testable.
927 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
931 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
932 to be overridden more easily (doy).
934 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
938 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
939 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
941 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
945 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
946 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
947 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
949 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
953 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
954 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
955 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
957 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
958 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
962 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
963 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
965 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
966 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
970 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
971 is applied to a class (t0m).
973 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
974 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
976 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
979 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
980 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
982 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
983 be much more robust. (doy)
985 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
987 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
990 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
994 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
995 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
997 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1001 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1002 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1004 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1007 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1008 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1009 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1011 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1012 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1013 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1016 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1018 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1022 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1023 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1027 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1029 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1033 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1034 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1038 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1039 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1043 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1045 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1049 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1050 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1054 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1055 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1059 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1060 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1062 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1066 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1067 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1068 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1071 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1075 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1076 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1077 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1078 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1080 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1084 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1085 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1086 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1090 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1091 (Michael G. Schwern)
1093 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1098 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1099 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1103 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1104 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1106 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1107 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1108 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1109 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1111 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1115 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1119 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1120 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1122 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1123 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1124 - Moose::Util::does_role
1125 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1126 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1127 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1129 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1133 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1134 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1135 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1138 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1142 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1143 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1146 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1150 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1151 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1154 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1158 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1160 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1161 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1163 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1164 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1165 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1167 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1168 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1169 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1172 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1173 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1175 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1176 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1177 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1179 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1181 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1182 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1184 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1186 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1189 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1190 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1192 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1193 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1195 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1196 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1197 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1198 dependencies installed.
1200 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1201 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1204 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1206 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1210 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1212 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1213 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1214 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1217 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1218 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1220 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1221 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1224 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1225 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1226 others. (nothingmuch)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1229 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1230 remove_accessors. (doy)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1233 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1234 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1237 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1239 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1240 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1241 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1242 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1244 * Moose::Meta::Class
1245 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1246 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1249 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1251 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1253 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1254 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1258 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1259 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1260 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1261 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1263 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1266 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1267 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1268 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1269 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1272 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1273 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1274 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1275 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1276 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1278 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1279 which were not receiving the value of
1280 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1281 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1282 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1283 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1287 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1288 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1289 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1290 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1291 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1295 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1296 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1297 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1299 * Moose::Meta::Class
1300 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1301 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1302 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1305 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1307 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1310 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1311 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1314 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1315 class if you pass it options for
1316 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1317 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1318 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1319 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1320 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1321 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1322 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1323 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1324 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1326 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1327 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1328 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1329 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1330 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1333 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1335 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1336 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1339 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1340 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1341 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1342 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1343 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1346 * Moose::Error::Croak
1347 * Moose::Error::Confess
1348 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1349 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1352 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1355 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1356 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1357 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1359 * Moose::Meta::Class
1360 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1363 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1364 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1365 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1367 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1368 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1369 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1370 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1371 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1374 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1377 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1379 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1380 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1383 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1384 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1386 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1388 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1389 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1391 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1392 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1393 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1394 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1395 using it for new code!
1397 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1398 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1399 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1400 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1402 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1403 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1404 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1405 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1406 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1407 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1408 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1409 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1412 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1415 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1416 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1420 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1423 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1424 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1426 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1428 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1429 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1431 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1432 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1433 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1436 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1437 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1440 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1441 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1442 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1443 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1444 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1445 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1447 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1449 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1453 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1454 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1456 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1457 associated_methods. (hdp)
1458 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1459 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1460 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1461 misspelled) arguments
1463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1464 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1465 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1466 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1469 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1470 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1472 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1476 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1477 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1480 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1481 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1483 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1484 * Moose::Meta::Class
1485 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1486 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1488 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1489 * Moose::Manual::Types
1490 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1491 string parsing rathole (mst)
1493 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1494 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1495 using plain objects instead
1497 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1498 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1499 that's what we need.
1501 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1502 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1503 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1504 three times today (perigrin)
1505 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1506 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1508 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1509 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1510 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1511 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1514 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1515 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1516 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1517 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1518 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1519 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1522 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1523 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1524 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1525 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1528 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1530 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1533 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1535 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1538 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1539 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1540 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1544 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1545 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1548 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1549 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1551 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1552 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1553 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1555 * Moose::Unsweetened
1556 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1558 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1559 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1562 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1566 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1567 methods during global destruction (doy)
1569 * Moose::Meta::Class
1570 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1571 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1572 consumption (Sartak)
1574 * Moose::Meta::Class
1575 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1576 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1579 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1580 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1583 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1584 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1586 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1588 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1592 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1593 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1594 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1597 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1598 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1599 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1602 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1604 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1605 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1606 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1610 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1611 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1612 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1614 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1615 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1616 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1619 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1622 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1623 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1624 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1628 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1629 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1631 * Moose::Meta::Class
1632 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1634 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1636 * Moose::Meta::Class
1637 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1638 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1641 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1642 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1645 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1646 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1649 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1652 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1655 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1658 * Moose::Meta::Class
1659 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1661 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1662 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1665 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1666 * More deprecations and renamings
1667 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1668 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1669 when an object is constructed)
1672 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1673 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1674 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1677 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1678 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1679 feature, and it works again.
1682 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1684 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1686 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1687 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1688 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1691 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1692 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1693 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1694 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1697 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1698 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1699 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1700 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1703 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1704 metaclass object. (hdp)
1706 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1707 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1708 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1709 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1710 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1711 point out this fact. (hdp)
1713 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1714 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1716 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1717 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1719 * Moose::Meta::Class
1720 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1721 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1722 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1723 called during instance construction were passed the
1724 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1725 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1727 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1728 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1731 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1732 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1733 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1736 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1737 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1738 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1739 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1740 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1742 - Moose::Meta::Class
1743 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1745 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1746 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1747 when an object is constructed)
1748 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1750 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1751 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1752 when an object is constructed)
1753 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1754 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1755 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1758 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1760 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1761 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1763 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1765 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1766 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1767 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1769 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1770 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1771 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1773 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1775 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1776 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1778 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1779 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1782 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1783 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1786 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1787 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1788 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1790 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1791 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1795 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1796 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1797 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1800 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1803 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1804 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1805 with recommended workarounds.
1807 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1808 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1810 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1811 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1812 (yes, spelled like that).
1814 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1815 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1817 * Moose::Meta::Class
1818 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1819 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1821 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1823 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1824 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1825 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1826 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1827 instead. Reported by doy.
1829 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1831 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1832 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1834 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1835 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1836 message) is now deprecated.
1837 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1838 often got it wrong. For example:
1840 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1842 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1846 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1847 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1848 bite you in weird cases.
1850 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1851 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1852 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1853 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1855 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1856 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1860 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1863 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1864 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1867 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1868 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1871 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1874 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1875 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1876 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1877 - added tests for this (stevan)
1879 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1880 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1881 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1882 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1886 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1887 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1888 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1889 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1891 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1892 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1893 - added tests for this (rafl)
1895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1896 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1897 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1898 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1902 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1903 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1906 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1907 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1908 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1910 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1912 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1913 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1915 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1916 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1917 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1918 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1919 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1922 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1923 error message did not specify the attribute name
1926 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1928 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1930 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1931 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1932 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1934 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1935 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1938 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1940 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1941 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1942 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1943 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1945 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1947 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1948 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1949 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1950 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1953 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1954 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1956 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1957 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1958 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1959 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1960 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1962 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1963 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1964 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1965 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1966 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1969 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1970 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1971 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1972 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1973 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1975 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1976 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1977 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1978 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1979 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1980 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1983 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1985 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1986 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1987 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1988 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1991 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1994 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1998 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1999 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2001 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2002 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2003 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2004 guts. (nothingmuch).
2006 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2007 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2008 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2011 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2012 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2013 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2015 * Moose::Meta::Class
2016 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2019 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2020 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2022 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2023 * Moose::Unsweetened
2024 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2027 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2028 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2029 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2030 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2031 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2032 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2034 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2035 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2036 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2037 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2038 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2039 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2040 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2041 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2042 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2043 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2045 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2047 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2048 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2050 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2051 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2052 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2053 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2055 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2056 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2057 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2058 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2059 same methods for a single role did not work
2060 right (worked just fine with multiple
2062 - added test for this (stevan)
2064 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2065 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2066 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2069 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2070 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2071 - added test for this (t0m)
2074 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2075 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2076 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2078 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2079 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2080 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2081 - added test for this (t0m)
2083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2084 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2085 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2086 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2087 - added test for this (perigrin)
2090 - create method for constructing a role
2091 dynamically (Sartak)
2092 - added test for this (Sartak)
2093 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2094 - added test for this (Sartak)
2097 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2099 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2100 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2101 methods is useful (Sartak)
2103 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2105 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2108 * Moose::Meta::Class
2109 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2110 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2111 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2112 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2113 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2114 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2117 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2118 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2120 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2121 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2122 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2123 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2124 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2126 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2128 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2129 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2130 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2133 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2134 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2135 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2136 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2137 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2138 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2142 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2143 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2144 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2145 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2146 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2147 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2148 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2149 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2150 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2151 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2153 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2154 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2157 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2158 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2159 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2160 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2161 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2163 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2165 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2166 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2167 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2170 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2173 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2174 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2175 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2178 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2179 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2181 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2183 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2184 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2186 * Moose::Meta::Class
2187 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2188 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2189 a required attribute
2191 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2193 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2194 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2196 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2197 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2200 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2201 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2202 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2203 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2204 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2205 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2206 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2208 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2209 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2210 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2212 * Roles and role application
2213 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2214 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2215 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2216 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2217 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2219 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2220 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2223 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2224 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2225 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2226 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2227 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2230 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2231 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2232 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2233 changes in the Moose internals.
2235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2237 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2241 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2242 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2243 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2246 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2247 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2248 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2251 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2252 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2253 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2254 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2255 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2256 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2257 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2258 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2259 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2260 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2261 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2262 constraint implementations.
2264 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2268 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2269 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2270 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2271 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2272 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2273 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2274 - added tests for this (rafl)
2276 * Moose::Meta::Class
2277 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2278 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2279 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2280 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2281 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2282 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2283 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2284 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2287 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2288 - added tests for this (thepler)
2290 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2291 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2292 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2293 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2296 * Moose::Meta::Class
2297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2298 * Moose::Meta::Method
2301 * Moose::Error::Default
2302 * Moose::Error::Croak
2303 * Moose::Error::Confess
2304 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2305 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2306 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2307 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2308 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2309 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2311 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2313 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2314 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2316 * Moose::Unsweetened
2317 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2318 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2319 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2321 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2322 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2323 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2324 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2325 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2328 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2329 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2331 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2332 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2333 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2334 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2337 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2339 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2340 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2342 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2345 - Various bug fixes.
2347 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2348 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2350 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2352 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2353 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2355 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2356 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2357 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2359 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2360 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2361 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2363 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2364 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2365 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2368 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2369 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2370 dependency to 0.64_07.
2372 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2373 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2374 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2377 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2380 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2381 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2382 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2383 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2384 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2385 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2388 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2390 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2392 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2393 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2397 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2398 method when that method was provided by another role being
2399 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2400 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2402 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2404 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2405 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2408 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2409 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2410 - added test for this (t0m)
2412 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2413 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2414 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2416 - added test for this (t0m)
2419 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2420 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2421 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2424 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2425 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2427 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2429 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2430 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2432 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2433 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2434 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2436 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2437 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2440 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2441 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2442 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2443 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2447 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2448 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2449 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2452 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2453 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2454 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2455 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2458 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2462 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2463 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2464 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2466 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2467 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2468 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2469 created so that the process can be more easily
2470 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2472 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2473 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2474 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2475 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2478 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2481 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2482 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2484 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2485 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2486 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2488 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2489 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2490 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2492 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2493 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2495 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2496 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2499 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2500 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2504 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2505 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2507 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2508 ... this is not my day today ...
2510 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2511 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2512 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2513 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2514 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2517 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2518 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2519 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2520 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2521 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2524 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2526 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2527 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2528 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2529 this is not ever something you want to do
2530 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2531 - added tests for this (stevan)
2534 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2536 - added test for this
2538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2539 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2540 - added tests for this (wreis)
2542 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2543 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2544 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2545 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2547 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2548 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2549 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2552 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2554 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2556 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2559 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2560 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2561 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2562 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2563 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2564 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2565 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2566 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2567 - added tests for this
2569 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2570 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2571 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2572 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2574 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2576 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2577 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2578 - added tests for this (sartak)
2579 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2580 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2583 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2585 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2586 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2588 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2589 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2590 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2591 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2593 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2595 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2596 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2599 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2600 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2601 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2603 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2604 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2605 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2607 - added docs for this (TODO).
2608 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2609 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2610 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2611 - fix builder and default both being used
2616 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2618 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2619 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2620 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2624 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2628 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2629 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2630 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2633 - move the ClassName type check code to
2634 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2636 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2637 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2639 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2640 (early morning release engineering)--
2642 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2643 which was causing the indexer to choke
2645 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2646 (late night release engineering)--
2648 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2649 changes in this release
2651 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2652 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2653 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2655 * Moose::Meta::Class
2656 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2657 since it is called so often by &meta
2659 * Moose::Meta::Class
2661 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2662 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2665 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2666 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2667 method for immutablization to check if the
2668 destructor object even needs to be created
2671 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2672 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2673 - added more descriptive error message to help
2674 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2675 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2677 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2679 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2680 XS based functionality is now optional
2681 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2682 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2683 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2685 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2686 to take care of this, mostly we added
2687 support for the package_name and name
2688 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2689 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2690 support regexp matching of names
2691 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2692 - tests added for this
2693 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2694 is currently not supported in roles,
2695 but, ... patches welcome
2696 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2697 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2698 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2701 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2702 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2703 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2704 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2705 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2706 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2707 - added test for this
2709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2710 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2711 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2714 * Moose::Meta::Class
2715 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2719 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2721 - added tests for this
2722 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2723 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2726 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2727 themselves parameterizable types
2729 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2730 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2731 called by the inlined immutable
2733 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2735 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2736 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2737 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2738 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2740 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2741 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2745 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2746 causing occasional cpantester failures
2747 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2748 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2750 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2752 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2753 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2756 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2757 ->body when looping through the
2758 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2760 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2761 eating the $@ values, and so not
2762 working correctly, it still kind of
2763 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2764 - added tests for this
2766 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2767 - added new recipe for immutable
2768 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2770 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2771 - added new recipe for builder and
2772 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2774 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2775 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2776 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2779 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2781 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2782 since Module::Install has done that.
2784 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2786 drink more coffee before
2787 doing release engineering
2789 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2790 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2791 modules. This fixes that.

2904 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2906 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3197 - added tests for this
3200 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3201 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3243 - fixed how required methods are handled
3244 when they encounter overriden or modified
3245 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3246 - added tests for this
3248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3249 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3250 the | always creates a union and so is

3256 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3259 * Parameterized Types
3260 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3261 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3262 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3263 They can also be nested:
3264 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3265 And work with the type unions as well:
3266 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3268 * Better Framework Extendability
3269 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3270 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3271 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3272 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3275 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3276 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3277 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3278 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3479 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3481 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3482 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3484 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3485 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3486 so this release is just to fix that.
3489 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3490 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3491 (thanks to konobi for this)
3492 - added tests and docs
3494 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3502 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3503 functions to facilitate introspection.
3505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3506 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3507 to build the list of delegated methods
3508 correctly (and not override important
3509 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3511 - added tests and docs for this
3512 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3513 so that you can actually document your
3514 attributes and inspect them through the
3516 - added tests and docs for this
3518 * Moose::Meta::Class
3519 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3520 it will first look in for the class in the
3521 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3522 then default to just loading $name.
3523 - added tests and docs for this
3525 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3526 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3527 - added test for this
3530 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3531 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3532 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3533 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3535 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3536 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3539 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3541 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3542 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3543 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3546 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3547 !! for this developer release to work !!
3549 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3550 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3551 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3552 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3553 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3554 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3555 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3556 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3557 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3558 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3559 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3561 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3562 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3563 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3564 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3567 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3569 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3570 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3571 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3573 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3575 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3576 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3579 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3580 called unless they actually need to be.
3581 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3582 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3583 DEMOLISH method present.
3585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3586 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3587 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3588 type constraint, which allows for a
3589 hand optimized version of the type
3590 constraint to be used when possible.
3591 - Any internally created type constraints
3592 now provide an optimized version as well.
3594 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3596 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3597 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3598 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3600 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3601 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3602 your class namespace of these exported
3605 * Moose::Meta::Class
3606 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3607 comes up during global destruction
3609 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3613 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3616 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3617 - changed how we do type checks so that
3618 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3621 - moved accessor generation methods to
3622 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3623 conform to the API changes from
3626 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3627 - changed how constraints are compiled
3628 so that we do less recursion and more
3629 iteration. This makes the type check
3631 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3635 - created this from methods formerly found in
3636 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3638 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3639 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3641 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3642 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3644 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3645 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3650 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3651 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3652 - added tests for this
3653 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3654 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3655 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3656 - removed tests for this
3658 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3660 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3661 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3662 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3665 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3666 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3667 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3669 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3670 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3671 comments for more info.
3674 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3675 asked questions and common problems
3677 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3678 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3679 - added tests for this
3681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3682 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3683 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3684 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3686 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3687 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3690 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3691 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3692 is much appreciated :)
3693 - added tests for this
3695 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3696 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3697 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3700 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3701 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3703 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3705 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3706 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3710 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3711 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3712 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3714 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3716 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3719 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3720 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3721 keywords because we need to localize them.
3722 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3724 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3725 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3726 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3729 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3732 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3733 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3734 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3737 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3738 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3739 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3741 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3743 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3744 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3745 bottom of your class file.
3748 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3751 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3753 - improved error message when loading modules so
3754 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3755 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3756 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3759 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3760 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3761 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3763 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3764 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3766 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3767 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3768 turn them on for you.
3769 - added tests for this

3798 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3799 - This release works in combination with
3800 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3801 release because it uses the a new
3802 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3803 complete Role implementation. It has
3804 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3805 the the previous CPAN version. This
3806 release also lacks good updated docs,
3807 the official release will have updated docs.
3810 - refactored the keyword exports
3811 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3812 accepts more than one Role at a time

3818 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3819 accepts more than one Role at a time
3821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3823 string enumerations which can be used as
3825 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3828 - more careful checking of params to new()
3831 - much work done on the role composition
3832 - many new tests for conflict detection
3833 and composition edge cases
3834 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3835 looking at the tests
3837 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3838 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3839 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3841 * Moose::Meta::Class

3844 - some small additions to support Roles
3846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3849 - some small changes to support the new
3851 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3852 with the 'handles' option
3853 - added several tests for this
3854 - no docs for this yet

3860 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3861 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3862 on a per-attribute basis
3863 - added tests for this
3864 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3865 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
