1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
9 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
11 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute ovewrites an accessor for
12 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
16 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
17 members, if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
18 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
19 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
20 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
21 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
23 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
24 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
25 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
28 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
29 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
31 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
36 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
37 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
39 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
43 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
44 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
45 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
47 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
51 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
52 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
53 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
55 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
56 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
59 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
60 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
63 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
64 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
65 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
67 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
68 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
73 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
74 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
75 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
78 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
79 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
81 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
82 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
84 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
85 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
86 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
89 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
90 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
91 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
94 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
95 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
96 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
97 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
99 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
100 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
103 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
104 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
105 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
107 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
111 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
112 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
113 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
115 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
116 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
117 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
120 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
121 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
122 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
124 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
125 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
126 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
128 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
129 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
133 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
134 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
135 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
137 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
138 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
139 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
140 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
142 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
146 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
147 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
148 value is a reference.
150 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
151 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
153 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
157 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
158 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
159 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
161 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
165 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
166 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
171 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
172 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
174 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
175 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
176 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
178 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
182 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
184 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
188 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
190 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
191 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
196 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
197 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
199 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
200 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
201 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
202 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
203 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
205 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
206 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
207 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
208 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
210 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
214 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
215 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
220 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
222 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
224 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
229 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
231 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
235 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
236 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
237 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
239 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
240 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
241 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
242 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
244 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
245 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
246 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
247 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
248 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
251 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
256 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
257 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
258 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
259 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
260 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
263 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
267 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
270 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
271 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
275 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
276 function (not just method). (doy)
280 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
281 and aren't easily installable/testable.
283 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
287 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
288 to be overridden more easily (doy).
290 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
294 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
295 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
297 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
301 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
302 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
303 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
305 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
309 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
310 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
311 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
313 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
314 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
318 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
319 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
321 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
322 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
326 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
327 is applied to a class (t0m).
329 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
330 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
332 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
335 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
336 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
338 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
339 be much more robust. (doy)
341 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
343 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
346 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
350 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
351 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
353 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
357 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
358 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
360 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
363 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
364 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
365 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
367 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
368 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
369 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
372 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
374 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
378 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
379 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
383 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
385 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
390 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
394 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
395 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
399 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
401 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
405 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
406 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
410 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
411 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
415 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
416 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
418 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
422 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
423 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
424 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
427 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
431 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
432 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
433 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
434 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
436 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
440 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
441 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
442 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
446 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
449 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
454 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
455 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
459 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
460 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
462 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
463 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
464 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
465 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
467 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
471 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
475 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
476 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
478 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
479 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
480 - Moose::Util::does_role
481 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
482 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
483 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
485 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
489 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
490 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
491 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
494 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
498 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
499 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
502 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
506 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
507 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
510 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
514 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
516 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
517 class. (Dave Rolsky).
519 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
520 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
521 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
523 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
524 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
525 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
528 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
529 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
531 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
532 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
533 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
535 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
537 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
538 substr et al, again. (sorear)
540 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
542 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
545 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
546 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
548 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
549 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
551 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
552 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
553 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
554 dependencies installed.
556 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
557 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
560 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
562 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
566 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
569 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
570 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
572 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
573 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
574 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
576 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
577 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
580 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
581 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
582 others. (nothingmuch)
584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
585 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
586 remove_accessors. (doy)
588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
589 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
590 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
593 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
595 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
597 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
598 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
601 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
602 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
605 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
607 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
609 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
610 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
614 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
615 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
616 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
617 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
619 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
621 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
622 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
623 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
624 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
625 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
628 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
629 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
630 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
631 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
632 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
634 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
635 which were not receiving the value of
636 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
637 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
638 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
639 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
643 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
644 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
645 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
646 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
647 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
651 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
652 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
653 - added tests for this (Stevan)
656 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
657 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
658 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
661 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
662 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
663 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
665 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
666 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
667 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
670 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
671 class if you pass it options for
672 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
673 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
674 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
675 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
676 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
677 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
678 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
679 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
680 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
682 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
683 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
684 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
685 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
686 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
689 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
691 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
692 existing delegation API. (hdp)
694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
695 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
696 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
697 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
698 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
699 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
702 * Moose::Error::Croak
703 * Moose::Error::Confess
704 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
705 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
708 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
711 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
712 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
713 installing a broken sub. (doy)
716 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
719 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
720 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
721 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
723 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
724 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
725 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
726 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
727 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
729 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
730 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
733 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
735 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
736 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
739 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
740 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
743 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
744 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
745 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
747 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
748 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
749 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
750 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
751 using it for new code!
753 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
754 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
755 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
756 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
758 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
759 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
760 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
761 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
762 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
763 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
764 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
765 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
768 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
771 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
772 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
776 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
778 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
779 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
780 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
784 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
785 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
788 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
789 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
792 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
793 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
796 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
798 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
799 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
800 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
801 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
803 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
805 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
809 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
810 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
812 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
813 associated_methods. (hdp)
814 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
815 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
816 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
817 misspelled) arguments
819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
820 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
821 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
822 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
824 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
825 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
826 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
828 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
832 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
833 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
836 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
837 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
839 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
841 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
842 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
844 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
845 * Moose::Manual::Types
846 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
847 string parsing rathole (mst)
849 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
850 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
851 using plain objects instead
853 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
854 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
857 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
859 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
860 three times today (perigrin)
861 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
862 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
865 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
866 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
867 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
870 - A role's required methods are now represented by
871 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
872 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
873 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
874 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
875 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
878 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
879 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
880 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
881 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
884 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
886 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
889 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
891 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
894 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
895 during global destruction. This method has been made more
896 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
900 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
901 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
904 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
905 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
907 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
908 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
909 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
912 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
914 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
915 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
918 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
922 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
923 methods during global destruction (doy)
926 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
927 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
931 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
932 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
935 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
936 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
939 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
940 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
942 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
944 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
948 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
949 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
950 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
953 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
954 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
955 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
958 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
960 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
961 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
962 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
965 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
966 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
967 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
968 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
970 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
971 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
972 of the Moose core (Sartak)
975 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
978 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
979 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
980 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
984 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
985 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
988 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
990 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
993 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
994 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
997 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
998 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1001 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1002 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1005 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1008 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1011 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1014 * Moose::Meta::Class
1015 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1017 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1018 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1021 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1022 * More deprecations and renamings
1023 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1024 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1025 when an object is constructed)
1028 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1029 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1030 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1033 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1034 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1035 feature, and it works again.
1038 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1040 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1042 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1043 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1044 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1047 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1048 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1049 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1050 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1052 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1053 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1054 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1055 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1056 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1059 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1060 metaclass object. (hdp)
1062 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1063 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1064 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1065 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1066 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1067 point out this fact. (hdp)
1069 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1070 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1072 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1073 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1075 * Moose::Meta::Class
1076 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1077 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1078 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1079 called during instance construction were passed the
1080 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1081 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1083 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1084 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1087 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1088 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1089 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1092 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1093 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1094 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1095 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1096 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1098 - Moose::Meta::Class
1099 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1101 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1102 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1103 when an object is constructed)
1104 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1106 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1107 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1108 when an object is constructed)
1109 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1110 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1111 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1114 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1116 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1117 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1119 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1121 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1122 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1123 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1125 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1126 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1127 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1129 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1131 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1132 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1134 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1135 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1138 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1139 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1142 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1143 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1144 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1147 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1151 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1152 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1153 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1156 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1159 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1160 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1161 with recommended workarounds.
1163 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1164 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1167 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1168 (yes, spelled like that).
1170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1171 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1173 * Moose::Meta::Class
1174 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1175 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1177 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1180 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1181 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1182 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1183 instead. Reported by doy.
1185 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1187 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1188 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1191 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1192 message) is now deprecated.
1193 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1194 often got it wrong. For example:
1196 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1198 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1202 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1203 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1204 bite you in weird cases.
1206 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1207 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1208 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1209 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1211 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1212 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1216 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1219 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1220 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1223 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1224 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1227 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1230 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1231 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1232 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1233 - added tests for this (stevan)
1235 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1236 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1237 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1238 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1242 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1243 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1244 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1245 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1247 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1248 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1249 - added tests for this (rafl)
1251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1252 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1253 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1254 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1258 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1259 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1262 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1263 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1264 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1266 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1268 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1269 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1272 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1273 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1274 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1275 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1278 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1279 error message did not specify the attribute name
1282 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1284 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1286 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1287 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1288 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1291 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1294 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1296 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1297 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1298 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1299 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1301 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1303 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1304 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1305 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1306 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1308 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1309 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1310 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1313 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1314 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1315 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1316 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1319 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1320 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1321 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1322 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1325 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1326 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1327 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1328 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1329 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1331 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1332 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1333 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1334 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1335 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1336 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1338 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1339 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1341 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1342 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1343 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1344 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1346 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1347 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1350 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1354 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1355 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1357 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1358 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1359 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1360 guts. (nothingmuch).
1362 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1364 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1367 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1368 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1369 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1371 * Moose::Meta::Class
1372 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1375 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1376 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1378 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1379 * Moose::Unsweetened
1380 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1383 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1384 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1385 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1386 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1387 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1388 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1390 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1391 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1392 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1393 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1394 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1395 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1396 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1397 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1398 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1399 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1401 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1403 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1404 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1406 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1407 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1408 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1409 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1411 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1412 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1413 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1414 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1415 same methods for a single role did not work
1416 right (worked just fine with multiple
1418 - added test for this (stevan)
1420 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1421 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1422 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1425 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1426 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1427 - added test for this (t0m)
1430 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1431 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1432 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1434 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1435 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1436 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1437 - added test for this (t0m)
1439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1440 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1441 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1442 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1443 - added test for this (perigrin)
1446 - create method for constructing a role
1447 dynamically (Sartak)
1448 - added test for this (Sartak)
1449 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1450 - added test for this (Sartak)
1453 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1455 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1456 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1457 methods is useful (Sartak)
1459 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1460 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1461 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1464 * Moose::Meta::Class
1465 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1466 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1467 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1468 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1469 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1470 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1473 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1474 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1476 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1477 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1478 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1479 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1480 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1482 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1484 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1485 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1486 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1489 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1490 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1491 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1492 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1493 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1494 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1497 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1498 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1499 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1500 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1501 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1502 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1503 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1504 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1505 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1506 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1507 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1510 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1514 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1515 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1516 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1517 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1519 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1521 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1522 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1523 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1526 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1529 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1530 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1531 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1534 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1535 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1537 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1539 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1540 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1542 * Moose::Meta::Class
1543 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1544 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1545 a required attribute
1547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1548 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1549 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1550 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1552 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1553 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1555 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1556 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1557 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1558 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1559 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1560 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1561 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1562 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1564 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1565 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1566 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1568 * Roles and role application
1569 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1570 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1571 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1572 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1573 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1575 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1576 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1579 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1580 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1581 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1582 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1583 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1586 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1587 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1588 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1589 changes in the Moose internals.
1591 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1593 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1597 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1598 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1599 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1602 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1603 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1604 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1606 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1607 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1608 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1609 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1610 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1611 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1612 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1613 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1614 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1615 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1616 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1617 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1618 constraint implementations.
1620 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1624 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1625 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1626 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1627 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1628 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1629 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1630 - added tests for this (rafl)
1632 * Moose::Meta::Class
1633 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1634 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1635 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1636 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1637 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1638 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1639 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1640 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1643 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1644 - added tests for this (thepler)
1646 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1647 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1648 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1649 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1652 * Moose::Meta::Class
1653 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1654 * Moose::Meta::Method
1657 * Moose::Error::Default
1658 * Moose::Error::Croak
1659 * Moose::Error::Confess
1660 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1661 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1662 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1663 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1664 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1665 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1667 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1669 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1670 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1672 * Moose::Unsweetened
1673 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1674 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1675 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1677 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1678 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1679 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1680 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1681 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1684 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1685 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1687 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1688 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1689 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1690 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1693 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1695 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1696 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1698 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1701 - Various bug fixes.
1703 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1704 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1706 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1708 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1709 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1710 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1711 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1712 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1713 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1715 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1716 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1717 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1719 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1720 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1721 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1724 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1725 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1726 dependency to 0.64_07.
1728 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1729 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1730 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1732 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1733 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1736 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1737 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1738 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1739 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1740 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1741 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1743 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1744 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1746 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1748 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1749 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1753 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1754 method when that method was provided by another role being
1755 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1756 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1758 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1760 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1761 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1764 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1765 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1766 - added test for this (t0m)
1768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1769 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1770 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1772 - added test for this (t0m)
1775 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1776 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1777 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1780 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1781 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1783 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1785 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1786 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1788 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1789 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1790 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1792 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1793 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1796 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1797 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1798 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1799 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1803 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1804 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1805 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1808 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1809 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1810 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1811 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1814 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1818 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1819 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1820 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1822 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1823 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1824 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1825 created so that the process can be more easily
1826 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1828 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1829 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1830 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1831 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1834 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1837 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1838 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1840 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1841 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1842 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1844 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1845 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1846 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1848 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1849 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1851 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1852 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1855 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1856 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1860 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1861 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1863 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1864 ... this is not my day today ...
1866 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1867 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1868 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1869 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1870 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1873 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1874 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1875 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1876 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1877 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1880 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1882 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1883 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1884 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1885 this is not ever something you want to do
1886 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1887 - added tests for this (stevan)
1890 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1892 - added test for this
1894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1895 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1896 - added tests for this (wreis)
1898 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1899 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1900 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1901 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1903 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1904 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1905 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1908 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1910 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1912 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1915 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1916 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1917 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1918 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1919 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1920 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1921 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1922 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 - added tests for this
1925 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1926 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1927 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1928 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1930 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1933 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1934 - added tests for this (sartak)
1935 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1936 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1939 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1941 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1942 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1945 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1946 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1947 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1949 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1951 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1952 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1955 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1956 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1957 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1959 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1960 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1961 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1963 - added docs for this (TODO).
1964 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1965 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1966 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1967 - fix builder and default both being used
1972 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1974 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1975 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1976 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1980 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1984 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1985 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1986 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1989 - move the ClassName type check code to
1990 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1992 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1993 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1995 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1996 (early morning release engineering)--
1998 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1999 which was causing the indexer to choke
2001 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2002 (late night release engineering)--
2004 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2005 changes in this release
2007 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2008 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2009 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2011 * Moose::Meta::Class
2012 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2013 since it is called so often by &meta
2015 * Moose::Meta::Class
2017 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2018 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2022 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2023 method for immutablization to check if the
2024 destructor object even needs to be created
2027 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2028 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2029 - added more descriptive error message to help
2030 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2031 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2033 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2035 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2036 XS based functionality is now optional
2037 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2038 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2039 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2041 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2042 to take care of this, mostly we added
2043 support for the package_name and name
2044 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2045 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2046 support regexp matching of names
2047 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2048 - tests added for this
2049 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2050 is currently not supported in roles,
2051 but, ... patches welcome
2052 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced

2058 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2059 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2063 - added test for this
2065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2114 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2116 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2117 eating the $@ values, and so not

2142 drink more coffee before
2143 doing release engineering
2145 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2260 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2262 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2600 when they encounter overriden or modified
2601 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2602 - added tests for this
2604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2605 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2606 the | always creates a union and so is

2608 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2610 - added more tests for this
2612 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2615 * Parameterized Types
2616 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2617 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2618 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2619 They can also be nested:
2620 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2621 And work with the type unions as well:
2622 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2624 * Better Framework Extendability
2625 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2626 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2627 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2628 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2631 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2632 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2633 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2634 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2792 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2793 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2794 prototypes for functions
2795 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2796 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2811 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2812 - added tests for this
2814 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2816 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2842 so this release is just to fix that.
2845 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2846 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

2859 functions to facilitate introspection.
2861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2868 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2869 so that you can actually document your
2870 attributes and inspect them through the

2877 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2878 then default to just loading $name.
2879 - added tests and docs for this
2881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2882 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2883 - added test for this
2886 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2888 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2889 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2891 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2892 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2895 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2897 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2898 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2899 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2902 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2903 !! for this developer release to work !!
2905 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2906 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2907 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2908 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2909 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2910 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2911 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2912 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2913 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2914 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2915 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2917 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2918 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2919 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2920 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2923 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2925 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2926 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2927 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2929 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2931 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2932 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2935 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2936 called unless they actually need to be.
2937 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2938 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2939 DEMOLISH method present.
2941 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2942 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2943 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2944 type constraint, which allows for a
2945 hand optimized version of the type
2946 constraint to be used when possible.
2947 - Any internally created type constraints
2948 now provide an optimized version as well.
2950 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2952 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2953 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2954 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2956 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2957 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2958 your class namespace of these exported
2961 * Moose::Meta::Class
2962 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2963 comes up during global destruction
2965 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2969 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2973 - changed how we do type checks so that
2974 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2977 - moved accessor generation methods to
2978 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2979 conform to the API changes from
2982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2983 - changed how constraints are compiled
2984 so that we do less recursion and more
2985 iteration. This makes the type check
2987 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2990 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2991 - created this from methods formerly found in
2992 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3006 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3007 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3008 - added tests for this
3009 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3010 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3011 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3012 - removed tests for this
3014 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3016 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3017 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3018 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3021 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3022 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3023 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3025 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3026 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3027 comments for more info.
3030 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3031 asked questions and common problems
3033 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3034 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3035 - added tests for this
3037 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3038 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3039 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3040 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3042 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3043 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3046 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3047 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3048 is much appreciated :)
3049 - added tests for this
3051 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3052 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3053 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3056 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3057 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3059 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3061 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3062 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3066 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3067 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3068 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3070 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3072 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3075 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive

3077 keywords because we need to localize them.
3078 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3080 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3081 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3082 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3085 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3088 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3089 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3090 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3093 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3094 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3095 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3097 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3099 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3100 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3101 bottom of your class file.
3104 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3107 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3109 - improved error message when loading modules so
3110 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3111 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3112 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3115 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3116 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3117 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3119 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3120 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3122 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3123 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3124 turn them on for you.

3154 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3155 - This release works in combination with
3156 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3157 release because it uses the a new
3158 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3159 complete Role implementation. It has
3160 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3161 the the previous CPAN version. This
3162 release also lacks good updated docs,
3163 the official release will have updated docs.
3166 - refactored the keyword exports
3167 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3168 accepts more than one Role at a time

3175 accepts more than one Role at a time
3177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3179 string enumerations which can be used as
3181 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3184 - more careful checking of params to new()
3187 - much work done on the role composition
3188 - many new tests for conflict detection
3189 and composition edge cases
3190 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3191 looking at the tests
3193 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3194 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3195 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3205 - some small changes to support the new
3207 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3208 with the 'handles' option

3216 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3217 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3218 on a per-attribute basis
3219 - added tests for this
