1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
9 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
10 details. (Dave Rolsky)
14 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
15 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
16 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
17 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
18 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originall defined
21 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
25 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
26 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
28 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
31 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
35 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
36 immutable classes). (mo)
38 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
39 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
40 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
42 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
46 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
48 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
50 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
54 * Fix some indexing issues.
56 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
58 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
62 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
63 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
64 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
65 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
66 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
68 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
69 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
74 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
75 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
76 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
77 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
79 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
80 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
81 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
85 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
86 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
89 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
93 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
94 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
95 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
96 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
99 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
103 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
106 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
110 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
111 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
112 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
114 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
118 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
119 policy. (Chris Prather)
121 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
122 on this new support policy. (doy)
126 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
127 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
128 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
130 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
131 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
133 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
137 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
138 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
139 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
140 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
143 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
147 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
148 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
151 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
155 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
156 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
158 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
159 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
163 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
164 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
165 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
166 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
167 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
168 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
171 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
173 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
174 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
175 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
176 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
178 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
179 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
181 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
186 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
187 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
189 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
193 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
194 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
195 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
197 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
201 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
202 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
203 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
205 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
206 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
209 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
210 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
213 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
214 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
215 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
217 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
218 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
223 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
224 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
225 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
226 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
228 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
229 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
231 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
232 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
234 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
235 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
236 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
237 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
239 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
240 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
241 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
244 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
245 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
246 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
247 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
249 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
250 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
253 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
254 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
255 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
257 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
261 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
262 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
263 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
265 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
266 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
267 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
270 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
271 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
272 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
274 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
275 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
276 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
278 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
279 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
283 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
284 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
285 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
287 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
288 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
289 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
290 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
292 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
296 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
297 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
298 value is a reference.
300 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
301 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
303 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
307 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
308 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
309 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
311 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
315 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
316 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
320 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
321 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
322 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
324 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
325 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
326 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
328 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
332 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
334 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
338 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
340 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
341 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
346 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
347 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
349 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
350 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
351 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
352 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
353 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
355 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
356 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
357 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
358 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
360 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
364 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
365 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
370 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
372 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
374 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
379 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
381 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
385 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
386 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
387 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
389 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
390 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
391 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
392 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
394 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
395 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
396 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
397 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
398 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
401 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
406 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
407 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
408 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
409 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
410 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
413 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
417 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
420 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
421 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
425 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
426 function (not just method). (doy)
430 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
431 and aren't easily installable/testable.
433 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
437 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
438 to be overridden more easily (doy).
440 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
444 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
445 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
447 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
451 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
452 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
453 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
455 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
459 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
460 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
461 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
463 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
464 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
468 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
469 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
471 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
472 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
476 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
477 is applied to a class (t0m).
479 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
480 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
482 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
485 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
486 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
488 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
489 be much more robust. (doy)
491 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
493 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
496 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
500 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
501 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
503 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
507 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
508 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
510 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
513 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
514 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
515 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
517 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
518 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
519 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
522 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
524 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
528 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
529 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
533 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
535 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
539 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
540 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
544 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
545 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
549 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
551 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
555 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
556 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
560 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
561 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
565 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
566 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
568 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
572 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
573 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
574 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
577 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
581 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
582 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
583 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
584 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
586 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
590 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
591 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
592 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
596 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
599 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
603 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
604 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
605 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
609 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
610 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
612 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
613 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
614 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
615 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
617 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
621 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
625 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
626 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
628 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
629 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
630 - Moose::Util::does_role
631 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
632 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
633 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
635 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
639 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
640 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
641 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
644 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
648 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
649 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
652 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
656 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
657 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
660 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
664 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
666 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
667 class. (Dave Rolsky).
669 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
670 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
671 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
673 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
674 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
675 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
678 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
679 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
681 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
682 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
683 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
685 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
687 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
688 substr et al, again. (sorear)
690 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
692 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
695 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
696 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
698 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
699 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
701 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
702 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
703 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
704 dependencies installed.
706 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
707 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
710 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
712 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
716 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
719 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
720 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
723 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
724 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
726 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
727 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
730 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
731 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
732 others. (nothingmuch)
734 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
735 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
736 remove_accessors. (doy)
738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
739 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
740 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
743 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
745 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
746 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
747 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
748 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
751 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
752 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
754 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
755 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
757 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
759 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
760 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
764 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
765 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
766 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
767 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
769 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
770 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
772 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
773 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
774 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
775 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
778 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
779 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
780 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
781 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
782 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
784 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
785 which were not receiving the value of
786 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
787 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
788 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
789 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
793 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
794 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
795 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
796 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
797 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
800 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
801 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
802 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
803 - added tests for this (Stevan)
806 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
807 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
808 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
811 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
813 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
816 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
817 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
820 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
821 class if you pass it options for
822 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
823 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
824 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
825 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
826 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
827 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
828 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
829 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
830 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
832 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
833 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
834 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
835 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
836 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
839 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
840 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
841 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
842 existing delegation API. (hdp)
844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
845 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
846 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
847 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
848 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
849 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
852 * Moose::Error::Croak
853 * Moose::Error::Confess
854 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
855 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
858 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
861 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
862 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
863 installing a broken sub. (doy)
866 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
869 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
870 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
871 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
873 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
874 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
875 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
876 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
877 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
879 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
880 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
883 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
885 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
886 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
889 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
890 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
893 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
894 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
895 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
897 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
898 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
899 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
900 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
901 using it for new code!
903 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
904 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
905 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
906 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
908 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
909 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
910 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
911 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
912 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
913 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
914 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
915 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
918 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
921 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
922 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
926 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
929 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
930 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
933 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
934 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
935 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
938 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
939 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
942 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
943 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
946 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
947 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
948 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
949 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
950 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
951 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
953 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
955 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
959 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
960 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
962 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
963 associated_methods. (hdp)
964 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
965 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
966 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
967 misspelled) arguments
969 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
970 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
971 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
972 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
975 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
976 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
978 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
982 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
983 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
986 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
987 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
989 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
991 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
992 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
994 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
995 * Moose::Manual::Types
996 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
997 string parsing rathole (mst)
999 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1000 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1001 using plain objects instead
1003 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1004 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1005 that's what we need.
1007 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1008 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1009 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1010 three times today (perigrin)
1011 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1012 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1014 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1015 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1016 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1017 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1020 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1021 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1022 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1023 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1024 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1025 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1028 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1029 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1030 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1031 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1034 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1036 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1039 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1041 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1044 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1045 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1046 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1050 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1051 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1054 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1055 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1057 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1058 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1059 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1061 * Moose::Unsweetened
1062 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1064 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1065 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1068 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1072 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1073 methods during global destruction (doy)
1075 * Moose::Meta::Class
1076 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1077 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1078 consumption (Sartak)
1080 * Moose::Meta::Class
1081 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1082 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1085 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1086 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1089 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1090 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1092 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1094 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1098 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1099 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1100 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1103 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1104 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1105 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1108 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1110 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1112 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1116 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1117 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1118 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1121 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1122 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1125 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1128 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1129 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1130 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1134 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1135 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1137 * Moose::Meta::Class
1138 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1140 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1142 * Moose::Meta::Class
1143 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1144 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1147 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1148 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1151 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1152 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1155 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1158 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1161 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1164 * Moose::Meta::Class
1165 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1168 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1171 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1172 * More deprecations and renamings
1173 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1174 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1175 when an object is constructed)
1178 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1179 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1180 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1183 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1184 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1185 feature, and it works again.
1188 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1190 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1192 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1193 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1194 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1197 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1198 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1199 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1200 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1202 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1203 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1204 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1205 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1206 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1209 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1210 metaclass object. (hdp)
1212 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1213 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1214 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1215 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1216 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1217 point out this fact. (hdp)
1219 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1220 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1222 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1223 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1225 * Moose::Meta::Class
1226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1227 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1228 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1229 called during instance construction were passed the
1230 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1231 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1233 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1234 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1237 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1238 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1239 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1242 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1243 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1244 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1245 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1246 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1248 - Moose::Meta::Class
1249 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1251 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1252 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1253 when an object is constructed)
1254 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1256 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1257 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1258 when an object is constructed)
1259 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1260 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1261 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1264 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1266 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1267 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1269 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1271 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1272 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1273 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1275 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1276 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1277 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1279 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1281 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1282 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1284 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1285 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1288 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1289 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1292 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1293 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1294 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1297 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1301 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1302 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1303 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1306 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1309 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1310 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1311 with recommended workarounds.
1313 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1314 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1317 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1318 (yes, spelled like that).
1320 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1321 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1323 * Moose::Meta::Class
1324 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1325 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1327 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1330 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1331 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1332 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1333 instead. Reported by doy.
1335 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1337 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1338 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1341 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1342 message) is now deprecated.
1343 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1344 often got it wrong. For example:
1346 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1348 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1352 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1353 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1354 bite you in weird cases.
1356 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1357 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1358 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1359 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1362 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1366 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1369 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1370 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1373 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1374 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1377 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1380 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1381 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1382 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1383 - added tests for this (stevan)
1385 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1386 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1387 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1388 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1392 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1393 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1394 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1395 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1397 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1398 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1399 - added tests for this (rafl)
1401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1402 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1403 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1404 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1408 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1409 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1412 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1413 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1414 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1416 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1418 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1419 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1421 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1422 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1423 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1424 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1425 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1428 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1429 error message did not specify the attribute name
1432 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1434 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1436 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1437 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1438 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1441 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1444 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1446 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1447 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1448 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1449 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1451 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1453 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1454 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1455 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1456 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1459 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1460 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1463 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1464 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1465 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1466 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1469 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1470 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1471 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1472 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1474 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1475 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1476 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1477 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1478 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1479 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1481 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1482 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1483 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1484 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1485 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1486 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1489 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1491 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1492 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1493 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1494 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1497 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1500 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1504 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1505 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1507 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1508 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1509 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1510 guts. (nothingmuch).
1512 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1513 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1514 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1517 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1518 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1519 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1521 * Moose::Meta::Class
1522 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1525 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1526 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1528 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1529 * Moose::Unsweetened
1530 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1533 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1534 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1535 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1536 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1537 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1538 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1541 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1542 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1543 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1544 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1545 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1546 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1547 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1548 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1549 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1551 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1553 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1554 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1556 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1557 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1558 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1559 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1561 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1562 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1563 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1564 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1565 same methods for a single role did not work
1566 right (worked just fine with multiple
1568 - added test for this (stevan)
1570 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1571 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1572 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1575 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1576 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1577 - added test for this (t0m)
1580 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1581 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1582 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1585 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1586 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1587 - added test for this (t0m)
1589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1590 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1591 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1592 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1593 - added test for this (perigrin)
1596 - create method for constructing a role
1597 dynamically (Sartak)
1598 - added test for this (Sartak)
1599 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1600 - added test for this (Sartak)
1603 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1606 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1607 methods is useful (Sartak)
1609 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1611 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1614 * Moose::Meta::Class
1615 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1616 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1617 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1618 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1619 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1620 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1623 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1624 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1626 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1627 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1628 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1629 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1630 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1632 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1634 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1635 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1639 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1640 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1641 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1642 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1643 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1644 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1647 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1648 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1649 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1650 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1651 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1652 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1653 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1654 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1655 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1656 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1657 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1659 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1660 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1663 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1664 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1665 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1666 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1667 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1669 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1671 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1672 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1673 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1676 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1678 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1679 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1680 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1681 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1684 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1685 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1687 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1689 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1690 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1692 * Moose::Meta::Class
1693 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1694 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1695 a required attribute
1697 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1698 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1699 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1700 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1702 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1703 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1706 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1707 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1708 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1709 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1710 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1711 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1712 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1714 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1715 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1716 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1718 * Roles and role application
1719 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1720 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1721 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1722 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1723 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1725 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1726 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1729 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1730 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1731 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1732 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1733 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1736 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1737 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1738 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1739 changes in the Moose internals.
1741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1743 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1746 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1747 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1748 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1749 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1751 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1752 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1753 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1754 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1756 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1757 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1758 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1759 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1760 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1761 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1762 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1763 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1764 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1765 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1766 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1767 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1768 constraint implementations.
1770 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1774 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1775 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1776 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1777 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1778 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1779 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1780 - added tests for this (rafl)
1782 * Moose::Meta::Class
1783 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1784 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1785 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1786 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1787 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1788 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1789 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1790 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1793 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1794 - added tests for this (thepler)
1796 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1797 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1798 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1799 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1802 * Moose::Meta::Class
1803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1804 * Moose::Meta::Method
1807 * Moose::Error::Default
1808 * Moose::Error::Croak
1809 * Moose::Error::Confess
1810 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1811 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1812 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1813 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1814 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1815 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1817 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1819 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1820 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 * Moose::Unsweetened
1823 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1824 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1825 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1828 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1829 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1830 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1831 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1834 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1835 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1837 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1838 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1839 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1840 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1843 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1845 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1846 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1848 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1851 - Various bug fixes.
1853 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1854 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1856 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1858 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1859 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1860 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1861 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1862 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1863 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1865 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1866 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1867 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1869 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1870 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1871 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1874 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1875 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1876 dependency to 0.64_07.
1878 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1879 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1880 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1883 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1886 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1887 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1888 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1889 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1890 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1891 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1893 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1894 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1896 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1898 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1899 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1903 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1904 method when that method was provided by another role being
1905 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1906 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1908 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1910 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1911 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1914 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1915 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1916 - added test for this (t0m)
1918 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1919 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1920 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1922 - added test for this (t0m)
1925 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1926 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1927 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1931 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1933 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1935 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1936 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1938 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1939 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1940 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1943 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1946 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1947 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1948 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1949 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1953 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1954 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1955 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1958 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1959 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1960 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1961 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1964 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1968 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1969 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1970 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1972 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1974 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1975 created so that the process can be more easily
1976 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1979 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1980 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1981 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1983 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1984 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1987 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1988 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1990 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1991 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1992 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1994 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1995 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1996 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1998 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1999 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2001 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2002 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2005 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2006 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2010 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2011 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2013 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2014 ... this is not my day today ...
2016 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2017 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2018 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2019 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2020 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2023 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2024 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2025 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2026 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2027 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2030 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2032 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2033 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2034 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2035 this is not ever something you want to do
2036 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2037 - added tests for this (stevan)
2040 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2042 - added test for this
2044 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2045 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2046 - added tests for this (wreis)
2048 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2049 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should

2065 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2066 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2067 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2068 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2069 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2070 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2071 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2072 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2073 - added tests for this
2075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2076 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2077 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2745 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2746 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2749 - fixed how required methods are handled
2750 when they encounter overriden or modified
2751 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2752 - added tests for this
2754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2755 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2756 the | always creates a union and so is
2757 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2758 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2760 - added more tests for this
2762 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2765 * Parameterized Types
2766 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2767 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2768 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2769 They can also be nested:
2770 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2771 And work with the type unions as well:
2772 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2774 * Better Framework Extendability
2775 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2776 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2777 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2778 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2781 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2782 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2783 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2784 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2787 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2789 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2832 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2833 +++ with new features added as well +++
2835 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2839 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2841 - added tests for this
2843 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2849 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2850 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2852 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2853 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

2869 (thanks to shlomif).
2871 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2872 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2873 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2922 (but not changing the handles option)
2923 - added tests and docs for this
2926 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2927 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2938 the other side (perigrin)
2940 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2941 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2942 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2943 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2944 prototypes for functions
2945 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2946 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2956 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2959 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2960 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2961 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2962 - added tests for this
2964 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2966 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2987 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2988 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2990 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2991 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2992 so this release is just to fix that.
2995 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2996 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2997 (thanks to konobi for this)
2998 - added tests and docs
3000 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3003 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3004 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3005 thanks to phaylon for finding this

3008 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3009 functions to facilitate introspection.
3011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3012 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3013 to build the list of delegated methods
3014 correctly (and not override important
3015 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3017 - added tests and docs for this
3018 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3019 so that you can actually document your
3020 attributes and inspect them through the
3022 - added tests and docs for this
3024 * Moose::Meta::Class
3025 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3026 it will first look in for the class in the
3027 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3028 then default to just loading $name.
3029 - added tests and docs for this
3031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3032 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3033 - added test for this
3036 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3037 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3038 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3039 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3041 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3042 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3045 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3047 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3048 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3049 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3052 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3053 !! for this developer release to work !!
3055 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3056 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3057 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3058 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3059 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3060 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3061 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3062 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3063 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3064 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3065 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3067 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3068 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3069 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3070 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3073 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3074 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3075 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3076 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3077 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3079 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3081 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3082 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3085 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3086 called unless they actually need to be.
3087 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3088 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3089 DEMOLISH method present.
3091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3093 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3094 type constraint, which allows for a
3095 hand optimized version of the type
3096 constraint to be used when possible.
3097 - Any internally created type constraints
3098 now provide an optimized version as well.
3100 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3102 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3103 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3104 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3107 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3108 your class namespace of these exported
3111 * Moose::Meta::Class
3112 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3113 comes up during global destruction
3115 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3119 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3123 - changed how we do type checks so that
3124 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3127 - moved accessor generation methods to
3128 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3129 conform to the API changes from
3132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3133 - changed how constraints are compiled
3134 so that we do less recursion and more
3135 iteration. This makes the type check
3137 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3140 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3141 - created this from methods formerly found in
3142 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3144 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3145 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3148 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3151 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3153 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3156 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3157 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3158 - added tests for this
3159 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3160 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3161 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3162 - removed tests for this
3164 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3166 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3167 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3168 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3171 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3172 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3173 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3175 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3176 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3177 comments for more info.
3180 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3181 asked questions and common problems
3183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3184 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3185 - added tests for this
3187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3188 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3189 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3190 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3192 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3193 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3196 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3197 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3198 is much appreciated :)
3199 - added tests for this
3201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3202 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3203 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3207 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3209 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3211 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3212 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3216 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3217 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3218 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3220 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3222 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3225 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3226 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3227 keywords because we need to localize them.
3228 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3230 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3231 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3232 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3235 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3239 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3240 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3243 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3244 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3245 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3247 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3249 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3250 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3251 bottom of your class file.
3254 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3257 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3259 - improved error message when loading modules so
3260 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3261 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3262 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3265 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3266 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3267 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3269 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3270 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3272 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3273 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3274 turn them on for you.
3275 - added tests for this
3276 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3277 in Moose::Meta::Class
3280 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3281 automatically turned on for you.

3304 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3305 - This release works in combination with
3306 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3307 release because it uses the a new
3308 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3309 complete Role implementation. It has
3310 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3311 the the previous CPAN version. This
3312 release also lacks good updated docs,
3313 the official release will have updated docs.
3316 - refactored the keyword exports
3317 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3318 accepts more than one Role at a time
3319 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3320 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3323 - refactored the keyword exports
3324 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3325 accepts more than one Role at a time
3327 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3328 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3329 string enumerations which can be used as
3331 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3334 - more careful checking of params to new()
3337 - much work done on the role composition
3338 - many new tests for conflict detection
3339 and composition edge cases
3340 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3341 looking at the tests
3343 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3344 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3345 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3347 * Moose::Meta::Class

3350 - some small additions to support Roles
3352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3355 - some small changes to support the new
3357 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3358 with the 'handles' option
3359 - added several tests for this
3360 - no docs for this yet
3362 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3364 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3365 thanks to chansen for this commit
3366 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3367 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3368 on a per-attribute basis
3369 - added tests for this
3370 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3371 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3372 experimental feature and probably not finished
3373 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3374 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3375 - added tests for this
3378 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3390 construct_instance (for the better)
3392 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3393 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3394 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

3436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3437 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3439 - added test for this
3442 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3443 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
3444 - added test for this
3446 0.03_02 Wed. April 12, 2006
