1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
7 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
8 release policies for Moose.
10 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
14 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
15 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
16 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
23 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class destroyed the cache,
24 causing the class to go out of scope unexpectedly. This could easily
25 happen at a distance by applying a metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave
32 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
33 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
34 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
38 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
45 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
46 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
47 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
51 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
52 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
54 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
55 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
56 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
57 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
59 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
63 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
67 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
68 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
70 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
71 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
72 - Moose::Util::does_role
73 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
74 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
75 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
77 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
81 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
82 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
83 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
86 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
90 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
91 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
94 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
98 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
99 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
102 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
106 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
108 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
109 class. (Dave Rolsky).
111 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
112 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
113 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
116 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
117 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
120 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
121 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
123 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
124 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
125 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
127 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
129 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
130 substr et al, again. (sorear)
132 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
134 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
137 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
138 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
140 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
141 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
143 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
144 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
145 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
146 dependencies installed.
148 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
149 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
152 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
154 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
158 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
161 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
162 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
165 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
166 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
168 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
169 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
172 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
173 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
174 others. (nothingmuch)
176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
177 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
178 remove_accessors. (doy)
180 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
181 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
182 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
185 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
187 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
189 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
190 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
193 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
194 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
197 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
199 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
201 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
202 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
206 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
207 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
208 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
209 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
211 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
214 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
215 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
216 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
217 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
220 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
221 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
222 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
223 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
224 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
226 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
227 which were not receiving the value of
228 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
229 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
230 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
231 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
235 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
236 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
237 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
238 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
239 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
243 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
244 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
245 - added tests for this (Stevan)
248 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
249 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
250 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
253 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
255 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
258 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
259 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
262 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
263 class if you pass it options for
264 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
265 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
266 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
267 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
268 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
269 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
270 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
271 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
272 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
274 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
275 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
276 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
277 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
278 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
281 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
283 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
284 existing delegation API. (hdp)
286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
287 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
288 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
289 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
290 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
291 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
294 * Moose::Error::Croak
295 * Moose::Error::Confess
296 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
297 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
300 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
303 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
304 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
305 installing a broken sub. (doy)
308 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
311 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
312 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
313 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
315 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
316 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
317 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
318 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
319 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
321 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
322 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
325 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
327 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
328 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
331 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
332 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
336 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
337 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
340 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
341 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
342 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
343 using it for new code!
345 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
346 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
347 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
348 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
350 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
351 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
352 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
353 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
354 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
355 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
356 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
357 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
360 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
363 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
364 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
367 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
368 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
371 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
372 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
376 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
377 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
380 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
381 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
384 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
385 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
388 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
390 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
391 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
392 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
393 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
395 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
397 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
401 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
402 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
404 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
405 associated_methods. (hdp)
406 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
407 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
408 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
409 misspelled) arguments
411 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
412 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
413 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
414 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
416 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
417 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
418 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
420 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
423 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
424 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
425 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
428 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
429 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
431 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
433 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
434 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
436 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
437 * Moose::Manual::Types
438 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
439 string parsing rathole (mst)
441 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
442 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
443 using plain objects instead
445 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
446 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
449 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
451 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
452 three times today (perigrin)
453 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
454 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
457 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
458 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
459 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
462 - A role's required methods are now represented by
463 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
464 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
465 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
466 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
467 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
470 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
471 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
472 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
473 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
476 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
478 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
481 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
483 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
486 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
487 during global destruction. This method has been made more
488 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
492 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
493 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
496 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
497 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
499 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
500 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
501 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
504 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
506 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
507 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
510 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
514 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
515 methods during global destruction (doy)
518 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
519 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
523 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
524 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
527 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
528 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
531 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
532 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
534 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
536 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
540 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
541 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
542 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
545 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
546 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
547 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
550 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
552 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
554 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
557 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
558 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
559 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
560 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
562 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
563 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
564 of the Moose core (Sartak)
567 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
570 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
571 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
572 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
576 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
577 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
580 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
582 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
585 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
586 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
589 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
590 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
593 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
594 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
597 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
600 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
603 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
607 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
610 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
613 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
614 * More deprecations and renamings
615 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
616 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
617 when an object is constructed)
620 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
621 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
622 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
625 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
626 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
627 feature, and it works again.
630 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
632 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
634 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
635 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
636 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
638 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
639 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
640 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
641 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
642 message. Test provided by perigrin.
644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
645 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
646 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
647 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
648 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
651 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
652 metaclass object. (hdp)
654 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
655 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
656 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
657 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
658 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
659 point out this fact. (hdp)
661 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
662 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
664 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
665 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
669 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
670 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
671 called during instance construction were passed the
672 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
673 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
675 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
676 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
679 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
680 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
681 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
684 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
685 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
686 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
687 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
688 them, but they are not for "public" use.
691 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
693 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
694 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
695 when an object is constructed)
696 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
698 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
699 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
700 when an object is constructed)
701 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
702 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
703 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
706 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
708 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
709 * No changes from 0.72_01.
711 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
713 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
714 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
715 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
718 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
719 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
721 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
723 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
724 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
726 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
727 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
730 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
731 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
734 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
735 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
736 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
739 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
743 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
744 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
745 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
747 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
748 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
751 * Moose::Manual::Delta
752 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
753 with recommended workarounds.
755 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
756 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
759 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
760 (yes, spelled like that).
762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
763 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
766 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
767 changes in latest Class::MOP.
769 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
772 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
773 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
774 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
775 instead. Reported by doy.
777 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
779 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
780 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
783 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
784 message) is now deprecated.
785 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
786 often got it wrong. For example:
788 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
790 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
794 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
795 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
796 bite you in weird cases.
798 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
799 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
800 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
803 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
804 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
808 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
811 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
812 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
815 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
816 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
819 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
822 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
823 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
824 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
825 - added tests for this (stevan)
827 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
828 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
829 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
830 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
834 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
835 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
836 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
837 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
839 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
840 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
841 - added tests for this (rafl)
843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
844 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
845 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
846 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
850 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
851 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
854 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
855 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
856 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
858 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
860 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
861 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
864 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
865 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
866 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
867 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
870 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
871 error message did not specify the attribute name
874 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
876 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
878 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
879 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
880 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
883 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
886 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
888 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
889 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
890 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
891 of fixes and formatting improvements.
893 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
895 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
896 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
897 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
898 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
900 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
901 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
902 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
905 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
906 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
907 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
908 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
910 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
911 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
912 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
913 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
914 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
916 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
917 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
918 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
919 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
920 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
921 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
923 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
924 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
925 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
926 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
927 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
928 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
931 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
933 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
934 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
935 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
936 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
938 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
939 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
942 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
946 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
947 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
949 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
950 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
951 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
954 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
956 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
959 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
960 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
961 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
964 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
967 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
968 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
970 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
972 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
975 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
976 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
977 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
978 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
979 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
980 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
982 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
983 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
984 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
985 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
986 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
987 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
988 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
989 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
990 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
991 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
993 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
995 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
996 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
999 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1000 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1001 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1003 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1004 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1005 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1006 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1007 same methods for a single role did not work
1008 right (worked just fine with multiple
1010 - added test for this (stevan)
1012 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1013 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1014 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1017 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1018 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1019 - added test for this (t0m)
1022 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1023 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1024 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1027 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1028 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1029 - added test for this (t0m)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1032 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1033 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1034 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1035 - added test for this (perigrin)
1038 - create method for constructing a role
1039 dynamically (Sartak)
1040 - added test for this (Sartak)
1041 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1042 - added test for this (Sartak)
1045 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1047 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1048 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1049 methods is useful (Sartak)
1051 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1053 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1056 * Moose::Meta::Class
1057 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1058 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1059 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1060 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1061 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1065 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1066 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1069 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1070 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1071 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1072 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1074 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1076 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1077 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1078 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1081 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1082 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1083 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1084 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1085 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1086 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1090 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1091 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1092 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1093 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1094 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1095 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1096 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1097 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1098 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1099 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1101 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1102 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1105 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1106 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1107 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1108 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1109 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1111 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1113 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1114 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1115 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1118 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1121 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1122 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1123 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1126 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1127 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1129 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1131 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1132 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1134 * Moose::Meta::Class
1135 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1136 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1137 a required attribute
1139 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1140 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1141 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1142 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1145 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1147 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1148 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1149 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1150 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1151 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1152 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1153 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1154 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1157 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1158 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1160 * Roles and role application
1161 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1162 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1163 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1164 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1165 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1167 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1168 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1171 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1172 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1173 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1174 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1175 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1178 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1179 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1180 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1181 changes in the Moose internals.
1183 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1185 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1188 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1189 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1190 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1191 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1194 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1195 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1196 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1199 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1200 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1201 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1202 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1203 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1204 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1205 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1206 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1207 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1208 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1209 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1210 constraint implementations.
1212 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1216 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1217 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1218 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1219 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1220 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1221 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 - added tests for this (rafl)
1224 * Moose::Meta::Class
1225 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1226 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1227 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1228 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1229 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1230 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1231 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1232 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1235 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1236 - added tests for this (thepler)
1238 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1239 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1240 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1241 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1244 * Moose::Meta::Class
1245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1246 * Moose::Meta::Method
1249 * Moose::Error::Default
1250 * Moose::Error::Croak
1251 * Moose::Error::Confess
1252 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1253 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1254 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1255 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1256 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1257 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1259 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1261 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1262 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1264 * Moose::Unsweetened
1265 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1266 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1267 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1270 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1271 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1272 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1273 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1276 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1277 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1279 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1280 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1281 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1282 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1285 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1287 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1288 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1290 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1293 - Various bug fixes.
1295 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1296 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1298 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1300 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1301 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1302 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1303 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1304 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1305 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1307 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1308 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1309 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1311 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1312 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1313 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1316 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1317 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1318 dependency to 0.64_07.
1320 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1321 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1322 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1325 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1329 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1330 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1331 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1332 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1333 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1335 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1336 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1338 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1340 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1341 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1345 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1346 method when that method was provided by another role being
1347 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1350 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1352 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1353 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1355 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1356 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default

1358 - added test for this (t0m)
1360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1361 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1362 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1364 - added test for this (t0m)
1367 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1368 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors

1373 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1375 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1397 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1400 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1401 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1402 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

1453 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1455 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1456 ... this is not my day today ...
1458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1459 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1460 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1461 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1462 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1465 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1466 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1467 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1468 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1469 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1472 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1474 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1475 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1507 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1508 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1509 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1510 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1511 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1512 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1513 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1514 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 - added tests for this
1517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1518 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1519 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1628 XS based functionality is now optional
1629 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1630 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1631 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1734 drink more coffee before
1735 doing release engineering
1737 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2051 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2053 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2054 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2055 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2059 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2061 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2062 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2063 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2065 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2084 types without having to explictly define them
2085 - added tests for this
2087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2088 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2089 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2091 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2092 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2093 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2094 they should inherit the parent's coercion

2097 a single type at different times instead of
2098 having to do it all in one place
2099 - added tests for this
2101 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2102 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2103 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2106 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2107 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2108 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2109 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2113 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2115 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2123 - added docs for this
2125 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2126 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2127 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2128 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2129 instead it will just return undef.
2130 - added docs for this

2144 with work correctly.
2145 - added tests for this
2148 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2149 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2152 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2153 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2154 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2156 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2188 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2191 - fixed how required methods are handled
2192 when they encounter overriden or modified
2193 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2194 - added tests for this
2196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2197 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2198 the | always creates a union and so is
2199 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2200 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2202 - added more tests for this
2204 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2207 * Parameterized Types
2208 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2209 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2210 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2211 They can also be nested:
2212 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2213 And work with the type unions as well:
2214 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2216 * Better Framework Extendability
2217 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2218 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2219 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2220 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2223 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2224 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2225 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2226 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2229 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2231 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2232 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2235 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2263 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2265 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2266 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2267 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2268 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2270 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2271 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2272 - updated the accompanying test as well
2274 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2275 +++ with new features added as well +++
2277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2278 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2279 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2280 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2281 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2283 - added tests for this
2285 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2287 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2288 can track where the type constraints are created
2290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2291 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2292 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2294 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2295 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2296 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2297 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2311 (thanks to shlomif).
2313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2314 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2315 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2316 - added tests for this

2319 - added tests for this
2321 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2323 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2364 (but not changing the handles option)
2365 - added tests and docs for this
2368 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2369 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2370 - adjusted tests for this
2372 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2373 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2374 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2380 the other side (perigrin)
2382 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2383 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2384 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2385 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2386 prototypes for functions
2387 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2388 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2398 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2401 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2402 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2403 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2404 - added tests for this
2406 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2408 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2426 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2427 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2429 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2430 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2432 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2433 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2434 so this release is just to fix that.
2437 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2438 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2439 (thanks to konobi for this)
2440 - added tests and docs
2442 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2443 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2445 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2446 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2447 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2448 - added tests for this

2450 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2451 functions to facilitate introspection.
2453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2454 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2455 to build the list of delegated methods
2456 correctly (and not override important
2457 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2459 - added tests and docs for this
2460 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2461 so that you can actually document your
2462 attributes and inspect them through the
2464 - added tests and docs for this
2466 * Moose::Meta::Class
2467 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2468 it will first look in for the class in the
2469 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2470 then default to just loading $name.
2471 - added tests and docs for this
2473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2474 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2475 - added test for this
2478 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2479 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2480 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2481 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2483 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2484 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2487 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2489 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2490 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2491 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2494 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2495 !! for this developer release to work !!
2497 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2498 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2499 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2500 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2501 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2502 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2503 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2504 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2505 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2506 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2507 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2509 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2510 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2511 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2512 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2515 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2517 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2518 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2519 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2521 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2523 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2524 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2527 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2528 called unless they actually need to be.
2529 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2530 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2531 DEMOLISH method present.
2533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2534 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2535 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2536 type constraint, which allows for a
2537 hand optimized version of the type
2538 constraint to be used when possible.
2539 - Any internally created type constraints
2540 now provide an optimized version as well.
2542 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2544 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2545 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2546 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2549 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2550 your class namespace of these exported
2553 * Moose::Meta::Class
2554 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2555 comes up during global destruction
2557 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2561 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2565 - changed how we do type checks so that
2566 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2569 - moved accessor generation methods to
2570 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2571 conform to the API changes from
2574 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2575 - changed how constraints are compiled
2576 so that we do less recursion and more
2577 iteration. This makes the type check
2579 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2583 - created this from methods formerly found in
2584 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2586 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2587 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2590 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2592 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2593 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2595 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2598 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2599 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2600 - added tests for this
2601 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2602 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2603 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2604 - removed tests for this
2606 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2608 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2609 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2610 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2613 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2614 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2615 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2617 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2618 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2619 comments for more info.
2622 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2623 asked questions and common problems
2625 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2626 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2627 - added tests for this
2629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2630 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2631 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2632 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2634 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2635 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2638 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2639 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2640 is much appreciated :)
2641 - added tests for this
2643 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2644 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2645 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2648 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2649 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2651 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2653 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2654 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2658 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2659 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2660 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2662 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2664 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2667 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2668 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2669 keywords because we need to localize them.
2670 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2672 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2673 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2674 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2677 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2680 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2681 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2682 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2685 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2686 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2687 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2689 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2691 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2692 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2693 bottom of your class file.
2696 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2699 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2701 - improved error message when loading modules so
2702 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2703 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2704 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2707 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2708 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2709 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2711 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2712 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2714 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2715 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2716 turn them on for you.
2717 - added tests for this

2746 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2747 - This release works in combination with
2748 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2749 release because it uses the a new
2750 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2751 complete Role implementation. It has
2752 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2753 the the previous CPAN version. This
2754 release also lacks good updated docs,
2755 the official release will have updated docs.
2758 - refactored the keyword exports
2759 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2760 accepts more than one Role at a time
2761 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2762 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2765 - refactored the keyword exports
2766 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2767 accepts more than one Role at a time
2769 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2770 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2771 string enumerations which can be used as
2773 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2776 - more careful checking of params to new()
2779 - much work done on the role composition
2780 - many new tests for conflict detection
2781 and composition edge cases
2782 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2783 looking at the tests
2785 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2786 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2787 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2789 * Moose::Meta::Class
2790 - some small changes to support the new
2792 - some small additions to support Roles
2794 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2795 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2797 - some small changes to support the new
2799 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2800 with the 'handles' option
2801 - added several tests for this
2802 - no docs for this yet
2804 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2806 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2807 thanks to chansen for this commit
2808 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2809 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2810 on a per-attribute basis
2811 - added tests for this
2812 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2813 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2814 experimental feature and probably not finished
2815 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2816 more details, or ask about it on #moose
