1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
9 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
11 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
15 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
17 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
21 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
23 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
26 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
30 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
32 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
33 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
37 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
38 more values were required. (rjbs)
40 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
44 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
45 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
49 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
50 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
51 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
52 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
55 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
56 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
58 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
59 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
62 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
63 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
64 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
65 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
69 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
70 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
71 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
72 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
75 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
79 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
80 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
83 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
84 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
87 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
88 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
89 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
91 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
92 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
95 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
96 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
97 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
99 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
100 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
103 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
104 the associated stash. (doy)
108 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
109 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
110 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
111 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
113 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
117 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
118 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
119 the attribute's reference.
123 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
124 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
129 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
130 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
131 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
134 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
135 the Object constraint).
137 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
141 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
142 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
147 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
149 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
153 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
156 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
158 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
162 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
164 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
168 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
171 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
172 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
173 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
175 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
178 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
182 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
184 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
188 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
190 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
194 * Include changes from 2.0010.
196 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
200 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
201 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
205 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
206 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
207 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
212 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
214 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
218 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
219 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
221 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
225 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
227 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
231 * Various packaging issues.
233 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
237 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
238 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
243 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
244 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
245 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
249 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
250 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
251 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
253 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
257 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
258 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
260 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
264 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
265 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
267 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
270 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
271 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
275 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
276 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
278 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
282 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
283 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
287 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
289 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
293 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
295 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
299 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
300 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
302 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
306 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
308 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
312 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
314 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
315 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
317 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
321 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
322 skips every other role. (rjbs)
324 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
325 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
326 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
327 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
328 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
330 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
334 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
335 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
336 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
339 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
344 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
346 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
347 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
349 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
353 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
354 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
355 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
359 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
360 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
362 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
363 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
365 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
366 environments. (doy, mateu)
368 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
372 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
373 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
374 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
375 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
379 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
380 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
382 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
386 * Update conflicts list.
389 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
393 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
394 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
395 details. (Dave Rolsky)
397 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
398 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
399 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
400 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
401 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
405 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
406 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
407 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
408 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
409 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
412 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
416 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
417 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
419 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
422 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
426 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
427 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
428 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
429 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
431 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
432 immutable classes). (mo)
434 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
435 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
436 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
438 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
442 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
444 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
446 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
450 * Fix some indexing issues.
452 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
454 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
458 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
459 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
460 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
461 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
462 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
464 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
465 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
470 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
471 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
472 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
473 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
475 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
476 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
477 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
481 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
482 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
485 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
489 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
490 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
494 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
498 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
499 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
500 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
501 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
504 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
508 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
511 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
515 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
516 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
517 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
520 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
524 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
525 policy. (Chris Prather)
527 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
528 on this new support policy. (doy)
532 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
533 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
534 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
536 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
537 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
539 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
543 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
544 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
545 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
546 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
549 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
553 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
554 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
557 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
561 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
562 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
564 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
565 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
569 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
570 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
571 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
572 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
573 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
574 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
576 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
577 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
579 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
580 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
581 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
582 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
584 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
585 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
587 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
592 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
593 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
595 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
599 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
600 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
601 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
603 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
607 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
608 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
609 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
611 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
612 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
615 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
616 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
619 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
620 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
621 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
623 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
624 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
629 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
630 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
631 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
632 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
634 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
635 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
637 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
638 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
640 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
641 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
642 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
643 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
645 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
646 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
647 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
650 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
651 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
652 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
653 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
655 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
656 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
659 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
660 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
661 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
663 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
667 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
668 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
669 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
671 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
672 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
673 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
676 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
677 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
678 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
680 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
681 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
682 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
684 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
685 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
689 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
690 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
691 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
693 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
694 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
695 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
696 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
698 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
702 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
703 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
704 value is a reference.
706 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
707 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
709 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
713 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
714 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
715 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
717 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
721 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
722 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
726 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
727 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
728 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
730 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
731 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
732 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
734 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
738 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
740 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
744 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
746 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
747 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
752 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
753 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
755 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
756 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
757 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
758 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
759 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
761 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
762 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
763 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
764 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
766 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
770 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
771 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
776 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
778 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
780 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
785 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
787 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
791 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
792 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
793 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
795 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
796 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
797 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
798 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
800 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
801 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
802 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
803 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
804 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
807 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
812 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
813 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
814 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
815 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
816 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
819 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
823 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
826 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
827 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
831 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
832 function (not just method). (doy)
836 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
837 and aren't easily installable/testable.
839 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
843 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
844 to be overridden more easily (doy).
846 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
850 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
851 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
853 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
857 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
858 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
859 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
861 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
865 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
866 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
867 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
869 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
870 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
874 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
875 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
877 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
878 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
882 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
883 is applied to a class (t0m).
885 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
886 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
888 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
891 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
892 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
894 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
895 be much more robust. (doy)
897 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
899 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
902 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
906 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
907 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
909 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
913 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
914 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
916 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
919 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
920 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
921 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
923 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
924 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
925 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
928 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
930 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
934 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
935 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
939 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
941 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
946 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
950 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
951 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
955 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
957 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
961 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
962 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
966 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
967 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
971 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
972 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
974 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
978 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
979 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
980 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
983 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
987 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
988 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
989 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
990 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
992 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
996 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
997 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
998 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1002 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1003 (Michael G. Schwern)
1005 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1010 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1011 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1015 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1016 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1018 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1019 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1020 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1021 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1023 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1027 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1031 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1032 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1034 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1035 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1036 - Moose::Util::does_role
1037 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1038 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1039 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1041 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1045 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1046 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1047 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1054 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1055 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1058 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1062 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1063 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1066 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1070 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1072 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1073 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1075 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1076 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1077 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1079 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1080 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1081 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1084 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1085 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1087 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1088 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1089 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1091 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1093 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1094 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1096 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1098 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1101 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1102 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1104 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1105 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1107 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1108 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1109 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1110 dependencies installed.
1112 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1113 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1116 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1118 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1122 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1124 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1125 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1126 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1128 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1129 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1130 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1132 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1133 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1136 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1137 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1138 others. (nothingmuch)
1140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1141 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1142 remove_accessors. (doy)
1144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1145 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1146 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1149 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1151 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1152 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1153 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1154 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1156 * Moose::Meta::Class
1157 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1158 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1161 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1163 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1165 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1166 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1170 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1171 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1172 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1173 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1175 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1178 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1179 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1180 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1181 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1184 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1185 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1186 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1187 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1188 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1190 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1191 which were not receiving the value of
1192 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1193 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1194 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1195 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1199 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1200 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1201 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1202 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1203 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1207 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1208 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1209 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1211 * Moose::Meta::Class
1212 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1213 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1214 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1217 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1219 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1221 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1222 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1223 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1226 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1227 class if you pass it options for
1228 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1229 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1230 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1231 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1232 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1233 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1234 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1236 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1239 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1240 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1241 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1242 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1245 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1247 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1248 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1251 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1252 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1253 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1254 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1255 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1258 * Moose::Error::Croak
1259 * Moose::Error::Confess
1260 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1261 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1264 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1267 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1268 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1269 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1271 * Moose::Meta::Class
1272 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1275 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1276 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1277 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1280 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1281 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1282 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1283 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1285 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1286 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1289 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1291 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1292 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1295 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1296 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1300 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1301 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1304 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1305 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1306 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1307 using it for new code!
1309 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1310 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1311 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1312 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1314 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1315 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1316 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1317 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1318 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1319 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1320 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1321 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1324 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1327 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1328 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1331 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1332 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1334 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1335 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1336 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1338 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1340 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1341 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1343 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1344 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1345 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1348 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1349 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1352 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1354 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1355 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1356 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1357 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1359 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1361 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1365 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1366 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1368 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1369 associated_methods. (hdp)
1370 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1371 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1372 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1373 misspelled) arguments
1375 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1376 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1377 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1378 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1381 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1382 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1384 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1388 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1389 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1392 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1393 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1395 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1396 * Moose::Meta::Class
1397 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1398 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1400 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1401 * Moose::Manual::Types
1402 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1403 string parsing rathole (mst)
1405 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1406 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1407 using plain objects instead
1409 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1410 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1411 that's what we need.
1413 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1414 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1415 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1416 three times today (perigrin)
1417 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1418 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1421 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1422 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1423 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1426 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1427 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1428 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1429 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1430 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1431 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1434 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1435 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1436 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1437 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1440 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1442 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1445 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1447 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1450 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1451 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1452 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1456 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1457 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1460 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1461 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1463 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1464 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1465 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1467 * Moose::Unsweetened
1468 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1470 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1471 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1474 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1478 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1479 methods during global destruction (doy)
1481 * Moose::Meta::Class
1482 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1483 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1484 consumption (Sartak)
1486 * Moose::Meta::Class
1487 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1488 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1491 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1492 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1495 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1496 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1498 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1500 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1504 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1505 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1506 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1509 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1510 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1511 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1514 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1516 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1517 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1518 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1521 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1522 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1523 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1524 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1526 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1527 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1528 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1531 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1534 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1535 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1536 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1540 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1541 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1543 * Moose::Meta::Class
1544 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1546 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1548 * Moose::Meta::Class
1549 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1550 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1553 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1554 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1557 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1558 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1561 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1564 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1566 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1567 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1570 * Moose::Meta::Class
1571 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1573 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1574 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1577 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1578 * More deprecations and renamings
1579 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1580 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1581 when an object is constructed)
1584 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1585 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1586 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1589 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1590 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1591 feature, and it works again.
1594 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1596 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1598 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1599 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1600 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1603 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1604 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1605 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1606 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1609 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1610 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1611 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1612 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1615 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1616 metaclass object. (hdp)
1618 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1619 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1620 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1621 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1622 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1623 point out this fact. (hdp)
1625 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1626 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1628 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1629 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1631 * Moose::Meta::Class
1632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1633 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1634 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1635 called during instance construction were passed the
1636 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1637 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1639 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1640 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1643 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1644 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1645 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1648 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1649 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1650 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1651 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1652 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1654 - Moose::Meta::Class
1655 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1657 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1658 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1659 when an object is constructed)
1660 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1662 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1663 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1664 when an object is constructed)
1665 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1666 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1667 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1670 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1672 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1673 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1675 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1677 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1678 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1679 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1681 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1682 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1683 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1685 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1687 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1688 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1690 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1691 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1694 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1695 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1698 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1699 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1700 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1702 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1703 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1707 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1708 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1709 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1711 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1712 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1715 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1716 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1717 with recommended workarounds.
1719 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1720 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1722 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1723 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1724 (yes, spelled like that).
1726 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1727 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1729 * Moose::Meta::Class
1730 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1731 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1733 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1736 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1737 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1738 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1739 instead. Reported by doy.
1741 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1743 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1744 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1746 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1747 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1748 message) is now deprecated.
1749 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1750 often got it wrong. For example:
1752 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1754 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1758 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1759 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1760 bite you in weird cases.
1762 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1763 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1764 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1765 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1768 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1772 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1775 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1776 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1780 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1783 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1786 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1788 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1789 - added tests for this (stevan)
1791 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1792 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1793 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1794 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1798 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1799 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1800 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1801 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1803 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1804 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1805 - added tests for this (rafl)
1807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1808 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1809 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1810 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1814 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1815 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1818 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1819 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1820 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1824 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1825 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1828 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1829 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1830 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1831 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1834 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1835 error message did not specify the attribute name
1838 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1840 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1842 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1843 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1844 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1846 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1847 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1850 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1852 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1853 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1854 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1855 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1857 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1859 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1860 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1861 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1862 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1865 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1866 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1869 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1870 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1871 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1872 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1874 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1875 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1876 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1877 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1878 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1880 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1881 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1882 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1883 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1884 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1885 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1887 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1888 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1889 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1890 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1891 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1892 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1894 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1895 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1897 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1898 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1899 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1900 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1902 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1903 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1906 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1910 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1911 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1913 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1914 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1915 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1916 guts. (nothingmuch).
1918 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1919 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1920 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1922 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1923 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1924 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1925 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1927 * Moose::Meta::Class
1928 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1931 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1932 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1934 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1935 * Moose::Unsweetened
1936 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1939 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1940 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1941 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1942 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1943 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1944 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1946 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1947 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1948 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1949 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1950 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1951 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1952 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1953 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1954 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1955 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1957 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1959 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1960 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1962 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1963 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1964 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1965 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1967 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1968 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1969 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1970 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1971 same methods for a single role did not work
1972 right (worked just fine with multiple
1974 - added test for this (stevan)
1976 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1977 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1978 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1981 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1982 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1983 - added test for this (t0m)
1986 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1987 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1988 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1991 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1992 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1993 - added test for this (t0m)
1995 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1996 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1997 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1998 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1999 - added test for this (perigrin)
2002 - create method for constructing a role
2003 dynamically (Sartak)
2004 - added test for this (Sartak)
2005 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2006 - added test for this (Sartak)
2009 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2011 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2012 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2013 methods is useful (Sartak)
2015 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2016 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2017 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2020 * Moose::Meta::Class
2021 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2022 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2023 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2024 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2025 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2026 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2029 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2030 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2032 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2033 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2034 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2035 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2036 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2038 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2040 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2041 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2042 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2045 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2046 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2047 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2048 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2049 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2050 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2054 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2055 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2056 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2057 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2058 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2059 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2060 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2061 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2062 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2063 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2066 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2069 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2070 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2071 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2072 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2073 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2075 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2077 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2078 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2079 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2082 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2084 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2085 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2086 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2087 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2090 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2091 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2093 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2095 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2096 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2098 * Moose::Meta::Class
2099 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2100 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2101 a required attribute
2103 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2104 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2105 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2106 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2108 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2109 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2111 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2112 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2113 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2114 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2115 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2116 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2117 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2118 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2120 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2121 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2122 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2124 * Roles and role application
2125 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2126 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2127 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2128 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2129 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2131 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2132 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2135 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2136 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2137 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2138 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2139 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2142 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2143 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2144 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2145 changes in the Moose internals.
2147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2149 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2153 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2154 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2155 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2157 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2158 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2159 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2160 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2163 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2164 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2165 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2166 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2167 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2168 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2169 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2170 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2171 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2172 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2173 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2174 constraint implementations.
2176 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2180 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2181 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2182 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2183 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2184 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2185 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2186 - added tests for this (rafl)
2188 * Moose::Meta::Class
2189 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2190 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2191 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2192 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2193 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2194 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2195 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2196 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2199 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2200 - added tests for this (thepler)
2202 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2203 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2204 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2205 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2208 * Moose::Meta::Class
2209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2210 * Moose::Meta::Method
2213 * Moose::Error::Default
2214 * Moose::Error::Croak
2215 * Moose::Error::Confess
2216 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2217 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2218 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2219 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2220 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2221 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2223 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2225 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2226 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2228 * Moose::Unsweetened
2229 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2230 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2231 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2234 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2235 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2236 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2237 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2240 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2241 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2243 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2244 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2245 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2246 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2249 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2251 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2252 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2254 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2257 - Various bug fixes.
2259 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2260 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2262 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2264 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2265 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2266 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2267 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2268 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2269 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2271 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2272 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2273 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2275 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2276 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2277 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2280 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2281 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2282 dependency to 0.64_07.
2284 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2285 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2286 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2289 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2292 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2293 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2294 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2295 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2296 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2297 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2300 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2302 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2304 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2305 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2309 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2310 method when that method was provided by another role being
2311 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2312 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2314 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2316 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2317 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2319 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2320 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2321 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2322 - added test for this (t0m)
2324 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2325 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2326 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2328 - added test for this (t0m)
2331 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2332 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2333 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2336 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2337 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2339 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2341 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2342 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2344 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2345 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2346 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2348 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2349 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2352 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2353 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2354 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2355 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2359 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2360 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2361 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2364 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2365 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2366 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2367 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2370 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2374 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2375 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2376 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2378 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2380 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2381 created so that the process can be more easily

2407 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2408 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2411 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2412 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2416 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2417 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2419 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2420 ... this is not my day today ...
2422 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2423 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2424 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2425 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2426 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2429 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2430 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2431 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2432 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2433 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2436 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2438 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2439 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2440 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2441 this is not ever something you want to do
2442 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2443 - added tests for this (stevan)
2446 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2448 - added test for this
2450 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2457 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2459 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2460 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2461 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2464 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2466 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2468 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2471 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2472 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2473 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2474 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2475 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2476 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2477 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2478 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2479 - added tests for this
2481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2482 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2483 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2484 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2555 which was causing the indexer to choke
2557 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2558 (late night release engineering)--
2560 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2561 changes in this release

2574 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2578 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2579 method for immutablization to check if the
2580 destructor object even needs to be created
2583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2584 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2585 - added more descriptive error message to help
2586 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2587 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2589 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2591 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2592 XS based functionality is now optional
2593 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2594 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2595 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2597 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2598 to take care of this, mostly we added
2599 support for the package_name and name
2600 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2601 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2602 support regexp matching of names
2603 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2604 - tests added for this
2605 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2606 is currently not supported in roles,
2607 but, ... patches welcome
2608 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2609 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2610 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2613 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2614 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2615 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2616 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2617 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2618 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2619 - added test for this
2621 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2622 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2623 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2626 * Moose::Meta::Class
2627 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2631 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2633 - added tests for this
2634 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2635 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2638 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2639 themselves parameterizable types

2643 called by the inlined immutable
2645 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2647 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2648 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2649 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2650 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2652 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2653 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2665 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2668 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2669 ->body when looping through the
2670 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2672 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2673 eating the $@ values, and so not
2674 working correctly, it still kind of
2675 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2676 - added tests for this
2678 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2679 - added new recipe for immutable
2680 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2698 drink more coffee before
2699 doing release engineering
2701 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2702 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

2706 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2707 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2716 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2717 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2719 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2720 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't

2735 - added test for this
2737 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2813 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2814 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2816 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2818 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2819 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2820 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2821 officially support it.
2822 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2823 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2858 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2861 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2862 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2863 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2864 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2866 - added more delegation tests
2867 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2868 support traits and their introspection.
2869 - added tests for this

3109 - added tests for this
3112 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3113 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3155 - fixed how required methods are handled
3156 when they encounter overriden or modified
3157 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3158 - added tests for this
3160 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3161 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3162 the | always creates a union and so is
3163 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3166 - added more tests for this
3168 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3171 * Parameterized Types
3172 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3173 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3174 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3175 They can also be nested:
3176 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3177 And work with the type unions as well:
3178 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3180 * Better Framework Extendability
3181 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3182 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3183 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3184 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3187 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3188 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3189 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3190 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3461 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3462 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3463 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3464 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3465 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3466 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3467 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3468 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3469 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3470 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3471 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3473 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3474 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3475 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3476 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3479 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3481 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3482 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3483 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3485 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3487 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3488 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3491 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3492 called unless they actually need to be.
3493 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3494 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3495 DEMOLISH method present.
3497 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3499 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3500 type constraint, which allows for a
3501 hand optimized version of the type
3502 constraint to be used when possible.
3503 - Any internally created type constraints
3504 now provide an optimized version as well.
3506 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3508 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3509 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3510 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3512 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3513 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3514 your class namespace of these exported
3517 * Moose::Meta::Class
3518 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3519 comes up during global destruction
3521 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3525 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3529 - changed how we do type checks so that
3530 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3533 - moved accessor generation methods to
3534 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3535 conform to the API changes from
3538 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3539 - changed how constraints are compiled
3540 so that we do less recursion and more
3541 iteration. This makes the type check
3543 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3546 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3547 - created this from methods formerly found in
3548 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3550 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3551 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3554 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3556 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3557 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3559 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3562 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3563 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3564 - added tests for this
3565 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3566 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3567 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3568 - removed tests for this
3570 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3572 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3573 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3574 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3577 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3578 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3579 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3581 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3582 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3583 comments for more info.
3586 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3587 asked questions and common problems
3589 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3590 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3591 - added tests for this
3593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3594 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3595 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3596 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3598 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3599 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3602 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3603 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3604 is much appreciated :)
3605 - added tests for this
3607 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3608 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3609 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3612 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3613 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3615 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3617 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3618 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3622 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3623 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3624 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3626 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3628 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3631 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3632 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3633 keywords because we need to localize them.
3634 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3636 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3637 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3638 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3641 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3644 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3645 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3646 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3649 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3650 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3651 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3653 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3655 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3656 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3657 bottom of your class file.
3660 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3663 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3665 - improved error message when loading modules so
3666 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3667 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3668 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3671 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3672 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3673 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3675 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3676 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3678 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3679 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3680 turn them on for you.
3681 - added tests for this
3682 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3683 in Moose::Meta::Class
3686 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3687 automatically turned on for you.

3710 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3711 - This release works in combination with
3712 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3713 release because it uses the a new
3714 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3715 complete Role implementation. It has
3716 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3717 the the previous CPAN version. This
3718 release also lacks good updated docs,
3719 the official release will have updated docs.
3722 - refactored the keyword exports
3723 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3724 accepts more than one Role at a time
3725 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3726 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3729 - refactored the keyword exports
3730 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3731 accepts more than one Role at a time
3733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3734 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3735 string enumerations which can be used as
3737 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3740 - more careful checking of params to new()
3743 - much work done on the role composition
3744 - many new tests for conflict detection
3745 and composition edge cases
3746 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3747 looking at the tests
3749 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3750 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3751 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3753 * Moose::Meta::Class
3754 - some small changes to support the new
3756 - some small additions to support Roles
3758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3759 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3761 - some small changes to support the new
3763 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3764 with the 'handles' option
3765 - added several tests for this
3766 - no docs for this yet
3768 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3770 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3771 thanks to chansen for this commit
3772 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3773 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3774 on a per-attribute basis
3775 - added tests for this
3776 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3777 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3778 experimental feature and probably not finished
3779 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3780 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3781 - added tests for this
3784 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3796 construct_instance (for the better)
3798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3843 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3845 - added test for this
3848 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3849 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
