1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
9 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
10 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects which
11 implementation is a regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
15 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
16 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
18 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
22 * Update conflicts list.
25 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
29 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
30 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
31 details. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
34 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
35 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
36 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
37 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
42 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
43 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
44 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
45 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
48 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
52 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
53 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
55 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
58 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
62 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
63 immutable classes). (mo)
65 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
66 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
67 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
69 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
73 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
75 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
77 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
81 * Fix some indexing issues.
83 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
85 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
89 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
90 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
91 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
92 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
93 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
95 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
96 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
101 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
102 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
103 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
104 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
106 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
107 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
108 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
112 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
113 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
116 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
120 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
121 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
125 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
129 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
130 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
131 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
132 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
135 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
139 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
142 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
146 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
147 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
148 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
150 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
154 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
155 policy. (Chris Prather)
157 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
158 on this new support policy. (doy)
162 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
163 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
164 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
166 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
167 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
169 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
173 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
174 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
175 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
176 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
179 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
183 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
184 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
187 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
191 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
192 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
194 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
195 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
199 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
200 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
201 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
202 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
203 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
204 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
206 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
207 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
209 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
210 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
211 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
212 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
214 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
215 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
217 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
222 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
223 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
225 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
229 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
230 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
231 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
233 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
237 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
238 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
239 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
241 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
242 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
245 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
246 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
249 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
250 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
251 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
253 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
254 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
259 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
260 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
261 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
262 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
264 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
265 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
267 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
268 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
270 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
271 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
272 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
273 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
275 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
276 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
277 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
280 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
281 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
282 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
283 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
285 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
286 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
289 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
290 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
291 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
293 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
297 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
298 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
299 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
301 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
302 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
303 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
306 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
307 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
308 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
310 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
311 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
312 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
314 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
315 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
319 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
320 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
321 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
323 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
324 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
325 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
326 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
328 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
332 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
333 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
334 value is a reference.
336 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
337 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
339 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
343 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
344 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
345 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
347 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
351 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
352 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
356 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
357 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
358 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
360 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
361 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
362 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
364 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
368 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
370 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
374 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
376 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
377 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
382 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
383 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
385 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
386 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
387 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
388 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
389 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
391 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
392 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
393 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
394 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
396 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
400 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
401 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
406 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
408 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
410 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
415 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
417 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
421 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
422 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
423 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
425 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
426 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
427 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
428 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
430 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
431 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
432 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
433 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
434 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
437 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
442 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
443 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
444 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
445 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
446 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
449 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
453 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
456 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
457 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
461 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
462 function (not just method). (doy)
466 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
467 and aren't easily installable/testable.
469 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
473 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
474 to be overridden more easily (doy).
476 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
480 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
481 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
483 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
487 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
488 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
489 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
491 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
495 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
496 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
497 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
499 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
500 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
504 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
505 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
507 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
508 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
512 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
513 is applied to a class (t0m).
515 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
516 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
518 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
521 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
522 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
524 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
525 be much more robust. (doy)
527 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
529 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
532 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
536 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
537 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
539 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
543 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
544 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
546 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
549 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
550 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
551 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
553 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
554 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
555 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
558 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
560 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
564 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
565 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
569 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
571 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
575 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
576 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
580 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
581 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
585 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
587 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
591 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
592 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
596 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
597 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
601 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
602 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
604 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
608 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
609 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
610 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
613 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
617 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
618 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
619 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
620 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
622 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
626 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
627 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
628 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
632 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
635 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
640 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
641 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
645 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
646 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
648 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
649 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
650 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
651 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
653 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
657 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
661 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
662 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
664 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
665 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
666 - Moose::Util::does_role
667 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
668 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
669 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
671 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
675 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
676 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
677 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
680 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
684 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
685 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
688 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
692 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
693 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
696 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
700 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
702 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
703 class. (Dave Rolsky).
705 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
706 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
707 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
709 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
710 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
711 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
714 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
715 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
717 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
718 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
719 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
721 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
723 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
724 substr et al, again. (sorear)
726 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
728 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
731 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
732 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
734 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
735 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
737 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
738 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
739 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
740 dependencies installed.
742 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
743 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
746 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
748 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
752 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
755 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
756 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
758 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
759 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
760 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
762 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
763 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
766 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
767 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
768 others. (nothingmuch)
770 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
771 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
772 remove_accessors. (doy)
774 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
775 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
776 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
779 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
781 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
783 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
784 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
787 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
788 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
790 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
791 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
793 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
795 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
796 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
800 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
801 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
802 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
803 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
805 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
808 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
809 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
810 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
811 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
814 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
815 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
816 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
817 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
818 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
820 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
821 which were not receiving the value of
822 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
823 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
824 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
825 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
829 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
830 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
831 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
832 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
833 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
837 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
838 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
839 - added tests for this (Stevan)
842 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
843 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
844 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
847 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
849 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
851 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
852 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
853 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
856 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
857 class if you pass it options for
858 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
859 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
860 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
861 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
862 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
863 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
864 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
865 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
866 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
868 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
869 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
870 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
871 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
872 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
875 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
876 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
877 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
878 existing delegation API. (hdp)
880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
881 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
882 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
883 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
884 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
885 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
888 * Moose::Error::Croak
889 * Moose::Error::Confess
890 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
891 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
894 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
897 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
898 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
899 installing a broken sub. (doy)
902 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
905 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
906 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
907 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
909 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
910 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
911 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
912 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
913 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
915 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
916 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
919 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
921 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
922 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
925 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
926 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
929 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
930 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
931 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
933 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
934 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
935 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
936 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
937 using it for new code!
939 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
940 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
941 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
942 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
944 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
945 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
946 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
947 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
948 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
949 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
950 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
951 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
954 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
957 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
958 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
961 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
962 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
965 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
966 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
969 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
970 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
971 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
974 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
975 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
977 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
978 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
979 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
982 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
984 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
985 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
986 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
987 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
989 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
991 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
995 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
996 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
998 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
999 associated_methods. (hdp)
1000 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1001 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1002 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1003 misspelled) arguments
1005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1006 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1007 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1008 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1010 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1011 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1012 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1014 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1018 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1019 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1022 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1023 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1025 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1026 * Moose::Meta::Class
1027 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1028 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1030 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1031 * Moose::Manual::Types
1032 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1033 string parsing rathole (mst)
1035 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1036 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1037 using plain objects instead
1039 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1040 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1041 that's what we need.
1043 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1044 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1045 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1046 three times today (perigrin)
1047 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1048 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1051 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1052 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1053 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1056 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1057 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1058 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1059 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1060 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1061 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1064 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1065 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1066 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1067 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1070 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1072 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1075 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1077 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1080 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1081 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1082 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1086 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1087 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1090 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1091 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1093 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1094 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1095 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1097 * Moose::Unsweetened
1098 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1100 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1101 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1104 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1108 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1109 methods during global destruction (doy)
1111 * Moose::Meta::Class
1112 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1113 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1114 consumption (Sartak)
1116 * Moose::Meta::Class
1117 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1118 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1121 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1122 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1125 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1126 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1128 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1130 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1134 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1135 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1136 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1139 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1140 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1141 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1144 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1146 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1148 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1151 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1152 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1153 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1154 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1156 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1157 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1158 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1161 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1164 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1165 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1166 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1170 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1171 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1173 * Moose::Meta::Class
1174 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1176 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1178 * Moose::Meta::Class
1179 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1180 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1183 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1184 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1187 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1188 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1191 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1194 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1197 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1200 * Moose::Meta::Class
1201 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1204 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1207 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1208 * More deprecations and renamings
1209 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1210 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1211 when an object is constructed)
1214 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1215 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1216 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1219 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1220 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1221 feature, and it works again.
1224 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1226 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1228 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1229 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1230 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1233 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1234 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1235 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1236 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1239 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1240 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1241 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1242 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1245 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1246 metaclass object. (hdp)
1248 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1249 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1250 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1251 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1252 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1253 point out this fact. (hdp)
1255 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1256 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1258 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1259 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1261 * Moose::Meta::Class
1262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1263 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1264 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1265 called during instance construction were passed the
1266 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1267 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1269 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1270 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1273 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1274 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1275 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1278 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1279 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1280 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1281 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1282 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1284 - Moose::Meta::Class
1285 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1287 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1288 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1289 when an object is constructed)
1290 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1292 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1293 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1294 when an object is constructed)
1295 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1296 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1297 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1300 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1302 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1303 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1305 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1307 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1308 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1309 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1311 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1312 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1313 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1315 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1317 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1318 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1320 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1321 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1324 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1325 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1328 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1329 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1330 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1332 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1333 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1337 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1338 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1339 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1341 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1342 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1345 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1346 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1347 with recommended workarounds.
1349 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1350 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1353 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1354 (yes, spelled like that).
1356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1357 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1359 * Moose::Meta::Class
1360 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1361 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1363 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1366 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1367 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1368 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1369 instead. Reported by doy.
1371 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1373 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1374 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1377 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1378 message) is now deprecated.
1379 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1380 often got it wrong. For example:
1382 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1384 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1388 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1389 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1390 bite you in weird cases.
1392 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1393 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1394 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1395 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1397 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1398 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1402 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1405 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1406 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1409 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1410 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1413 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1416 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1419 - added tests for this (stevan)
1421 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1422 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1423 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1424 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1428 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1429 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1430 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1431 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1433 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1434 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1435 - added tests for this (rafl)
1437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1438 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1439 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1440 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1444 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1445 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1448 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1449 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1450 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1452 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1454 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1455 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1457 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1458 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1459 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1460 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1461 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1464 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1465 error message did not specify the attribute name
1468 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1470 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1472 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1473 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1474 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1477 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1480 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1482 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1483 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1484 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1485 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1487 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1489 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1490 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1491 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1492 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1494 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1495 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1496 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1498 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1499 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1500 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1501 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1502 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1505 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1506 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1507 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1508 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1510 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1511 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1512 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1513 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1514 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1515 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1517 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1518 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1519 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1520 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1521 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1522 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1525 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1527 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1528 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1529 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1530 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1532 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1533 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1536 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1540 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1541 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1543 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1544 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1545 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1546 guts. (nothingmuch).
1548 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1550 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1553 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1554 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1555 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1557 * Moose::Meta::Class
1558 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1561 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1562 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1564 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1565 * Moose::Unsweetened
1566 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1569 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1570 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1571 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1572 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1573 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1574 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1577 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1578 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1579 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1580 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1581 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1582 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1583 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1584 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1585 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1587 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1589 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1590 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1593 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1594 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1595 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1597 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1598 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1599 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1600 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1601 same methods for a single role did not work
1602 right (worked just fine with multiple
1604 - added test for this (stevan)
1606 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1607 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1608 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1611 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1612 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1613 - added test for this (t0m)
1616 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1617 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1618 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1621 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1622 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1623 - added test for this (t0m)
1625 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1626 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1627 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1628 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1629 - added test for this (perigrin)
1632 - create method for constructing a role
1633 dynamically (Sartak)
1634 - added test for this (Sartak)
1635 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1636 - added test for this (Sartak)
1639 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1641 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1642 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1643 methods is useful (Sartak)
1645 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1646 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1647 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1650 * Moose::Meta::Class
1651 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1652 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1653 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1654 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1655 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1656 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1659 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1660 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1662 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1663 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1664 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1665 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1666 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1668 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1670 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1671 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1672 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1675 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1676 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1677 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1678 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1679 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1680 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1683 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1684 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1685 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1686 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1687 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1688 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1689 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1690 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1691 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1692 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1693 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1695 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1696 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1699 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1700 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1701 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1702 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1703 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1705 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1707 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1708 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1709 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1711 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1712 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1714 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1715 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1716 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1717 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1720 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1721 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1723 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1725 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1726 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1728 * Moose::Meta::Class
1729 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1730 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1731 a required attribute
1733 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1734 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1735 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1736 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1738 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1739 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1742 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1743 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1744 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1745 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1746 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1747 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1748 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1750 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1751 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1752 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1754 * Roles and role application
1755 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1756 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1757 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1758 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1759 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1761 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1762 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1766 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1767 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1768 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1769 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1772 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1773 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1774 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1775 changes in the Moose internals.
1777 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1779 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1783 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1784 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1785 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1787 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1788 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1789 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1790 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1793 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1794 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1795 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1796 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1797 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1798 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1799 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1800 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1801 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1802 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1803 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1804 constraint implementations.
1806 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1810 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1811 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1812 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1813 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1814 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1815 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1816 - added tests for this (rafl)
1818 * Moose::Meta::Class
1819 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1820 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1821 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1822 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1823 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1824 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1825 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1826 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1829 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1830 - added tests for this (thepler)
1832 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1833 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1834 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1835 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1838 * Moose::Meta::Class
1839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1840 * Moose::Meta::Method
1843 * Moose::Error::Default
1844 * Moose::Error::Croak
1845 * Moose::Error::Confess
1846 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1847 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1848 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1849 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1850 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1851 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1853 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1855 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1856 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1858 * Moose::Unsweetened
1859 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1860 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1861 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1864 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1865 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1866 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1867 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1870 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1871 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1873 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1874 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1875 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1876 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1879 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1881 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1882 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1884 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1887 - Various bug fixes.
1889 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1890 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1892 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1894 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1895 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1896 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1897 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1898 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1899 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1901 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1902 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1903 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1905 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1906 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1907 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1910 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1911 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1912 dependency to 0.64_07.
1914 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1915 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1916 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1918 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1919 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1923 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1924 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1925 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1926 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1927 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1929 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1930 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1932 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1934 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1935 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1939 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1940 method when that method was provided by another role being
1941 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1944 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1946 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1947 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1950 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1951 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1952 - added test for this (t0m)
1954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1955 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1956 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1958 - added test for this (t0m)
1961 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1962 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1963 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1967 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1969 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1971 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1972 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1974 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1975 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1976 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1978 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1979 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1982 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1983 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1984 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1985 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1989 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1990 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1991 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1994 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1995 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1996 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1997 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2000 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2004 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2005 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2006 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2008 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2010 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2011 created so that the process can be more easily
2012 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2014 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2015 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2016 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2017 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2020 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2023 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2024 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2026 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2027 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2028 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2030 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2031 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2032 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2034 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2035 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2037 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2038 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2041 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2042 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2046 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2047 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2049 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2050 ... this is not my day today ...
2052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2053 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2054 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2055 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2056 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2059 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2060 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2061 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2062 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2063 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2066 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2068 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2069 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2070 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2071 this is not ever something you want to do
2072 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2073 - added tests for this (stevan)

2101 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2102 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2103 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2104 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2105 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2106 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2107 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2108 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2109 - added tests for this
2111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2112 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2113 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2215 - added more descriptive error message to help
2216 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

2222 XS based functionality is now optional
2223 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2224 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2225 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2328 drink more coffee before
2329 doing release engineering
2331 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2446 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2448 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2739 - added tests for this
2742 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2743 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2782 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2785 - fixed how required methods are handled
2786 when they encounter overriden or modified
2787 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2788 - added tests for this
2790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2791 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2792 the | always creates a union and so is
2793 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2794 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2796 - added more tests for this
2798 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2801 * Parameterized Types
2802 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2803 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2804 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2805 They can also be nested:
2806 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2807 And work with the type unions as well:
2808 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2810 * Better Framework Extendability
2811 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2812 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2813 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2814 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2817 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2818 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2819 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2820 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2823 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2825 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2826 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2885 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2886 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2888 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2905 (thanks to shlomif).
2907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2908 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2909 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2910 - added tests for this

2947 - added tests for these
2949 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2950 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2953 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2967 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2968 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2974 the other side (perigrin)
2976 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2978 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2979 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2980 prototypes for functions
2981 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2982 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2992 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2995 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2996 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2997 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2998 - added tests for this
3000 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3002 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3021 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3023 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3024 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3026 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3027 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3028 so this release is just to fix that.
3031 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3032 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3033 (thanks to konobi for this)
3034 - added tests and docs
3036 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3037 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3039 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3040 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3041 thanks to phaylon for finding this

3044 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3045 functions to facilitate introspection.
3047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3048 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3049 to build the list of delegated methods
3050 correctly (and not override important
3051 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3053 - added tests and docs for this
3054 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3055 so that you can actually document your
3056 attributes and inspect them through the
3058 - added tests and docs for this
3060 * Moose::Meta::Class
3061 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3062 it will first look in for the class in the
3063 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3064 then default to just loading $name.
3065 - added tests and docs for this
3067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3068 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3069 - added test for this
3072 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3073 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3074 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3075 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3077 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3078 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3081 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3083 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3084 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3085 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3088 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3089 !! for this developer release to work !!
3091 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3092 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3093 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3094 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3095 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3096 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3097 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3098 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3099 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3100 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3101 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3103 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3104 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3105 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3106 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3109 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3110 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3111 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3112 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3113 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3115 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3117 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3118 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3121 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3122 called unless they actually need to be.
3123 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3124 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3125 DEMOLISH method present.
3127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3128 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3129 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3130 type constraint, which allows for a
3131 hand optimized version of the type
3132 constraint to be used when possible.
3133 - Any internally created type constraints
3134 now provide an optimized version as well.
3136 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3138 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3139 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3140 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3142 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3143 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3144 your class namespace of these exported
3147 * Moose::Meta::Class
3148 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3149 comes up during global destruction
3151 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3155 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3159 - changed how we do type checks so that
3160 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3163 - moved accessor generation methods to
3164 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3165 conform to the API changes from
3168 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3169 - changed how constraints are compiled
3170 so that we do less recursion and more
3171 iteration. This makes the type check
3173 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3176 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3177 - created this from methods formerly found in
3178 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3180 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3181 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3183 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3184 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3186 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3187 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3189 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3191 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3192 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3193 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3194 - added tests for this
3195 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3196 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3197 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3198 - removed tests for this
3200 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3202 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3203 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3204 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3207 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3208 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3209 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3211 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3212 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3213 comments for more info.
3216 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3217 asked questions and common problems
3219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3220 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3221 - added tests for this
3223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3224 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3225 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3226 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3228 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3229 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3232 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3233 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3234 is much appreciated :)
3235 - added tests for this
3237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3238 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3239 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3242 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3243 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3245 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3247 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3248 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3252 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3253 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3254 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3256 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3258 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3261 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3262 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3263 keywords because we need to localize them.
3264 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3266 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3267 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3268 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3271 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3274 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3275 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3276 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3279 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3280 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3281 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3283 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3285 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3286 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3287 bottom of your class file.
3290 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3293 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3295 - improved error message when loading modules so
3296 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3297 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3298 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3301 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3302 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3303 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3305 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3306 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3308 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3309 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3310 turn them on for you.
3311 - added tests for this
3312 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3313 in Moose::Meta::Class
3316 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3317 automatically turned on for you.
3318 - added tests for this
3321 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3322 - added tests for this
3323 - added some more edge case tests

3335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3336 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3339 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3340 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3341 - This release works in combination with
3342 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3343 release because it uses the a new
3344 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3345 complete Role implementation. It has
3346 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3347 the the previous CPAN version. This
3348 release also lacks good updated docs,
3349 the official release will have updated docs.
3352 - refactored the keyword exports
3353 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3354 accepts more than one Role at a time
3355 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3356 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3359 - refactored the keyword exports
3360 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3361 accepts more than one Role at a time
3363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3364 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3365 string enumerations which can be used as
3367 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3370 - more careful checking of params to new()
3373 - much work done on the role composition
3374 - many new tests for conflict detection
3375 and composition edge cases
3376 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3377 looking at the tests
3379 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3380 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3381 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3383 * Moose::Meta::Class
3384 - some small changes to support the new
3386 - some small additions to support Roles
3388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3389 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3391 - some small changes to support the new
3393 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3394 with the 'handles' option
3395 - added several tests for this
3396 - no docs for this yet
3398 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3400 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3401 thanks to chansen for this commit
3402 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3403 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3404 on a per-attribute basis
3405 - added tests for this
3406 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3407 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3408 experimental feature and probably not finished
3409 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3410 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3411 - added tests for this
3414 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3416 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
3417 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
3418 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
3420 - added some tests for this
3421 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3422 thanks to chansen for this commit
3424 * Moose::Meta::Class
3425 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3426 construct_instance (for the better)
3428 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3429 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3430 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
3432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3433 - added type constraint unions
3434 - added tests for this
3435 - added the is_subtype_of predicate method
3436 - added tests for this

3440 - Roles can now consume other roles
3441 - added tests for this
3442 - Roles can specify required methods now with
3443 the requires() keyword
3444 - added tests for this
3447 - ripped out much of it's guts ,.. much cleaner now
