1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
7 constraint has a coercion defined. If it doesn't, an error will be thrown
8 when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
10 * has '+foo' now has a blacklist rather than a whitelist for options which
11 can be legally inherited (doy, Tuomas Jormola).
15 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
16 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
17 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
18 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
19 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
22 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
26 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
29 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
30 constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
34 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined function
35 (not just method) (doy).
39 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
40 and aren't easily installable/testable.
42 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
46 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
47 to be overridden more easily (doy).
49 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
53 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
54 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
56 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
60 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
61 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
62 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
64 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
68 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
69 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
70 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
72 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
73 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
77 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
78 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
80 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
81 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
85 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
86 is applied to a class (t0m).
88 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
89 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
91 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
94 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
95 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
97 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
98 be much more robust. (doy)
100 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
102 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
105 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
109 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
110 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
112 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
116 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
117 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
119 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
122 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
123 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
124 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
126 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
127 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
128 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
131 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
133 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
137 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
138 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
142 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
144 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
149 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
153 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
154 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
158 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
160 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
164 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
165 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
169 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
170 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
174 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
175 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
177 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
181 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
182 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
183 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
186 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
190 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
191 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
192 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
193 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
195 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
199 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
200 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
201 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
205 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
208 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
213 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
214 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
218 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
219 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
221 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
222 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
223 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
224 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
226 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
230 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
234 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
235 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
237 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
238 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
239 - Moose::Util::does_role
240 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
241 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
242 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
244 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
248 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
249 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
250 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
253 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
257 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
258 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
261 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
265 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
266 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
269 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
273 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
275 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
276 class. (Dave Rolsky).
278 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
279 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
280 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
282 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
283 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
284 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
287 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
288 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
290 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
291 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
292 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
294 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
296 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
297 substr et al, again. (sorear)
299 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
301 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
304 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
305 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
307 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
308 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
310 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
311 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
312 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
313 dependencies installed.
315 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
316 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
319 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
321 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
325 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
328 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
329 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
331 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
332 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
333 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
335 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
336 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
339 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
340 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
341 others. (nothingmuch)
343 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
344 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
345 remove_accessors. (doy)
347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
348 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
349 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
352 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
354 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
355 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
356 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
357 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
360 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
361 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
363 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
364 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
366 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
368 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
369 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
373 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
374 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
375 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
376 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
378 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
381 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
382 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
383 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
384 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
387 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
388 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
389 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
390 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
391 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
393 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
394 which were not receiving the value of
395 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
396 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
397 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
398 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
402 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
403 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
404 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
405 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
406 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
409 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
410 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
411 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
412 - added tests for this (Stevan)
415 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
416 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
417 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
420 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
421 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
422 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
425 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
426 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
429 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
430 class if you pass it options for
431 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
432 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
433 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
434 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
435 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
436 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
437 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
438 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
439 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
441 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
442 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
443 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
444 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
445 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
448 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
449 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
450 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
451 existing delegation API. (hdp)
453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
454 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
455 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
456 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
457 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
458 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
461 * Moose::Error::Croak
462 * Moose::Error::Confess
463 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
464 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
467 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
470 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
471 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
472 installing a broken sub. (doy)
475 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
478 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
479 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
480 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
482 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
483 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
484 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
485 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
486 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
489 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
492 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
494 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
495 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
498 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
499 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
502 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
503 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
504 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
506 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
507 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
508 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
509 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
510 using it for new code!
512 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
513 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
514 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
515 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
517 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
518 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
519 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
520 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
521 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
522 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
523 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
524 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
527 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
530 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
531 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
534 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
535 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
538 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
539 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
543 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
544 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
547 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
548 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
550 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
551 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
552 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
555 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
557 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
558 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
559 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
560 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
562 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
564 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
567 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
568 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
569 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
571 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
572 associated_methods. (hdp)
573 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
574 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
575 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
576 misspelled) arguments
578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
579 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
580 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
581 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
583 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
584 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
585 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
587 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
590 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
591 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
592 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
595 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
596 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
598 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
600 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
601 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
603 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
604 * Moose::Manual::Types
605 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
606 string parsing rathole (mst)
608 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
609 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
610 using plain objects instead
612 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
613 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
616 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
618 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
619 three times today (perigrin)
620 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
621 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
624 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
625 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
626 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
629 - A role's required methods are now represented by
630 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
631 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
632 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
633 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
634 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
637 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
638 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
639 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
640 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
643 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
645 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
648 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
650 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
653 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
654 during global destruction. This method has been made more
655 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
659 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
660 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
663 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
664 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
666 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
667 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
668 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
671 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
673 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
674 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
677 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
681 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
682 methods during global destruction (doy)
685 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
686 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
690 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
691 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
694 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
695 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
698 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
699 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
701 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
703 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
707 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
708 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
709 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
712 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
713 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
714 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
717 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
719 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
720 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
721 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
724 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
725 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
726 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
727 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
729 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
730 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
731 of the Moose core (Sartak)
734 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
737 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
738 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
739 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
743 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
744 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
747 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
749 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
752 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
753 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
756 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
757 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
760 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
761 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
764 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
767 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
769 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
770 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
774 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
776 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
777 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
780 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
781 * More deprecations and renamings
782 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
783 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
784 when an object is constructed)
787 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
788 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
789 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
792 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
793 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
794 feature, and it works again.
797 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
799 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
801 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
802 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
803 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
806 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
807 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
808 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
809 message. Test provided by perigrin.
811 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
812 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
813 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
814 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
815 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
818 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
819 metaclass object. (hdp)
821 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
822 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
823 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
824 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
825 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
826 point out this fact. (hdp)
828 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
829 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
831 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
832 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
835 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
836 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
837 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
838 called during instance construction were passed the
839 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
840 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
842 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
843 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
846 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
847 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
848 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
851 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
852 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
853 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
854 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
855 them, but they are not for "public" use.
858 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
860 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
861 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
862 when an object is constructed)
863 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
865 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
866 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
867 when an object is constructed)
868 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
869 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
870 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
873 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
875 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
876 * No changes from 0.72_01.
878 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
880 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
881 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
882 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
885 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
886 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
888 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
890 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
891 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
893 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
894 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
897 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
898 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
901 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
902 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
903 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
906 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
910 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
911 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
912 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
914 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
915 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
918 * Moose::Manual::Delta
919 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
920 with recommended workarounds.
922 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
923 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
925 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
926 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
927 (yes, spelled like that).
929 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
930 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
933 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
934 changes in latest Class::MOP.
936 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
938 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
939 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
940 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
941 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
942 instead. Reported by doy.
944 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
946 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
947 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
949 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
950 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
951 message) is now deprecated.
952 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
953 often got it wrong. For example:
955 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
957 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
961 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
962 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
963 bite you in weird cases.
965 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
966 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
967 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
970 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
971 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
975 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
978 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
979 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
982 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
983 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
985 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
986 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
989 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
991 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
992 - added tests for this (stevan)
994 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
995 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
996 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
997 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1001 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1002 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1003 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1004 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1006 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1007 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1008 - added tests for this (rafl)
1010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1011 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1012 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1013 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1017 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1018 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1021 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1022 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1023 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1025 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1027 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1028 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1030 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1031 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1032 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1033 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1034 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1037 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1038 error message did not specify the attribute name
1041 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1043 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1045 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1046 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1047 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1050 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1053 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1055 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1056 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1057 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1058 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1060 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1062 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1063 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1064 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1065 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1068 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1069 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1071 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1072 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1073 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1074 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1075 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1078 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1079 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1080 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1081 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1084 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1085 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1086 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1087 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1088 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1090 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1091 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1092 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1093 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1094 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1095 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1098 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1100 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1101 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1102 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1103 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1105 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1106 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1109 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1113 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1114 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1116 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1117 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1118 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1119 guts. (nothingmuch).
1121 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1122 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1123 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1126 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1127 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1128 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1130 * Moose::Meta::Class
1131 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1134 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1135 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1137 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1138 * Moose::Unsweetened
1139 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1142 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1143 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1144 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1145 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1146 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1147 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1150 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1151 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1152 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1153 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1154 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1155 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1157 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1158 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1160 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1162 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1163 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1165 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1166 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1167 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1168 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1171 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1172 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1173 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1174 same methods for a single role did not work
1175 right (worked just fine with multiple
1177 - added test for this (stevan)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1180 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1181 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1184 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1185 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1186 - added test for this (t0m)
1189 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1190 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1191 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1193 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1194 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1195 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1196 - added test for this (t0m)
1198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1199 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1200 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1201 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1202 - added test for this (perigrin)
1205 - create method for constructing a role
1206 dynamically (Sartak)
1207 - added test for this (Sartak)
1208 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1209 - added test for this (Sartak)
1212 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1214 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1215 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1216 methods is useful (Sartak)
1218 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1219 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1220 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1223 * Moose::Meta::Class
1224 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1225 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1226 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1227 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1228 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1229 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1232 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1233 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1236 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1237 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1238 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1239 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1241 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1243 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1244 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1245 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1248 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1249 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1250 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1251 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1252 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1253 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1256 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1257 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1258 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1259 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1260 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1261 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1262 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1263 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1264 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1265 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1266 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1269 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1273 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1274 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1275 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1276 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1278 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1280 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1281 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1282 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1285 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1288 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1289 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1290 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1293 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1294 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1296 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1298 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1299 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1301 * Moose::Meta::Class
1302 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1303 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1304 a required attribute
1306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1308 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1309 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1311 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1312 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1314 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1315 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1316 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1317 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1318 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1319 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1320 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1321 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1323 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1324 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1325 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1327 * Roles and role application
1328 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1329 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1330 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1331 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1332 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1334 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1335 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1338 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1339 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1340 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1341 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1342 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1345 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1346 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1347 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1348 changes in the Moose internals.
1350 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1352 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1356 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1357 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1358 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1360 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1361 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1362 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1363 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1365 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1366 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1367 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1368 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1369 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1370 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1371 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1372 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1373 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1374 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1375 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1376 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1377 constraint implementations.
1379 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1383 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1384 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1385 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1386 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1387 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1388 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1389 - added tests for this (rafl)
1391 * Moose::Meta::Class
1392 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1393 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1394 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1395 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1396 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1397 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1398 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1399 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1402 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1403 - added tests for this (thepler)
1405 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1406 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1407 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1408 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1411 * Moose::Meta::Class
1412 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1413 * Moose::Meta::Method
1416 * Moose::Error::Default
1417 * Moose::Error::Croak
1418 * Moose::Error::Confess
1419 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1420 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1421 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1422 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1423 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1424 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1426 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1428 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1429 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1431 * Moose::Unsweetened
1432 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1433 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1434 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1437 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1438 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1439 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1440 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1443 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1444 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1446 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1447 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1448 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1449 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1489 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1492 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1495 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1496 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1497 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1498 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1499 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1500 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1502 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1503 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1505 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1507 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1508 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1512 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1513 method when that method was provided by another role being
1514 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1517 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1525 - added test for this (t0m)
1527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1528 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1529 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1531 - added test for this (t0m)
1534 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1535 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1536 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1539 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1540 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1542 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1544 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1545 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1547 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1548 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1549 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1551 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1552 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1555 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1558 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1562 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1563 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1564 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1568 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1569 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1570 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1573 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1577 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1579 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1581 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1582 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1583 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1584 created so that the process can be more easily

1619 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1620 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1622 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1623 ... this is not my day today ...
1625 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1626 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1627 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1628 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1629 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1632 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1633 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1634 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1635 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1636 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1639 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1641 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1642 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1643 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1644 this is not ever something you want to do
1645 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1646 - added tests for this (stevan)
1649 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1651 - added test for this

1660 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1662 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1663 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1664 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1667 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1669 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1671 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1674 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1675 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1676 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1677 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1678 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1679 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1680 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1681 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1682 - added tests for this
1684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1685 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1686 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1687 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1758 which was causing the indexer to choke
1760 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1761 (late night release engineering)--
1763 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional

1780 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1781 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1782 method for immutablization to check if the
1783 destructor object even needs to be created
1786 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1787 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1788 - added more descriptive error message to help
1789 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1790 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1792 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1794 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1795 XS based functionality is now optional
1796 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1797 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1798 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1800 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1801 to take care of this, mostly we added
1802 support for the package_name and name

1805 support regexp matching of names
1806 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1808 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1809 is currently not supported in roles,
1810 but, ... patches welcome

1812 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1813 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1817 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1818 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1819 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1820 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1821 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1822 - added test for this
1824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1825 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1826 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1829 * Moose::Meta::Class
1830 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1834 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1836 - added tests for this
1837 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1838 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1841 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1842 themselves parameterizable types

1846 called by the inlined immutable
1848 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1850 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1851 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1852 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1853 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

1868 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1871 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1872 ->body when looping through the
1873 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1875 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1876 eating the $@ values, and so not
1877 working correctly, it still kind of
1878 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1879 - added tests for this
1881 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1882 - added new recipe for immutable
1883 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1885 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1901 drink more coffee before
1902 doing release engineering
1904 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2019 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2021 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2061 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2064 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2065 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2066 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2067 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2069 - added more delegation tests
2070 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2071 support traits and their introspection.
2072 - added tests for this

2312 - added tests for this
2315 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2316 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2358 - fixed how required methods are handled
2359 when they encounter overriden or modified
2360 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2361 - added tests for this
2363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2364 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2365 the | always creates a union and so is
2366 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2367 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2369 - added more tests for this
2371 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2374 * Parameterized Types
2375 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2376 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2377 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2378 They can also be nested:
2379 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2380 And work with the type unions as well:
2381 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2383 * Better Framework Extendability
2384 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2385 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2386 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2387 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2390 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2391 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2392 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2393 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2396 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2398 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2399 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2627 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2628 so that you can actually document your
2629 attributes and inspect them through the

2633 * Moose::Meta::Class
2634 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2635 it will first look in for the class in the
2636 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2637 then default to just loading $name.
2638 - added tests and docs for this
2640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2641 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2642 - added test for this
2645 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2647 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2648 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2650 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2651 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2654 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2656 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2657 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2658 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2661 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2662 !! for this developer release to work !!
2664 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2665 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2666 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2667 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2668 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2669 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2670 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2671 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2672 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2673 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2674 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2676 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2677 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2678 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2679 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2682 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2684 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2685 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2686 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2688 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2690 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2691 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2694 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2695 called unless they actually need to be.
2696 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2697 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2698 DEMOLISH method present.
2700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2701 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2702 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2703 type constraint, which allows for a
2704 hand optimized version of the type
2705 constraint to be used when possible.
2706 - Any internally created type constraints
2707 now provide an optimized version as well.
2709 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2711 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2712 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2713 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2716 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2717 your class namespace of these exported
2720 * Moose::Meta::Class
2721 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2722 comes up during global destruction
2724 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2728 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2731 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2732 - changed how we do type checks so that
2733 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2736 - moved accessor generation methods to
2737 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2738 conform to the API changes from
2741 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2742 - changed how constraints are compiled
2743 so that we do less recursion and more
2744 iteration. This makes the type check
2746 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2749 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2750 - created this from methods formerly found in
2751 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2753 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2754 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2756 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2757 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2760 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2762 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2764 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2765 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2766 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2767 - added tests for this
2768 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2769 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2770 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2771 - removed tests for this
2773 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2775 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2776 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2777 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2780 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2781 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2782 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2784 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2785 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2786 comments for more info.
2789 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2790 asked questions and common problems
2792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2793 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2794 - added tests for this
2796 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2797 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2798 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2799 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2801 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2802 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2805 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2806 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2807 is much appreciated :)
2808 - added tests for this
2810 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2811 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2812 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2815 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2816 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2818 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2820 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2821 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2825 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2826 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2827 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2829 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2831 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2834 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2835 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2836 keywords because we need to localize them.
2837 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2839 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2840 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2841 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2844 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2847 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2848 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2849 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2852 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2853 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2854 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2856 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2858 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2859 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2860 bottom of your class file.
2863 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2866 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2868 - improved error message when loading modules so
2869 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2870 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2871 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2874 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2875 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2876 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2878 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2879 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2881 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2882 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2883 turn them on for you.
2884 - added tests for this
2885 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2886 in Moose::Meta::Class
2889 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2890 automatically turned on for you.

2894 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2895 - added tests for this

2909 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2912 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2913 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2914 - This release works in combination with
2915 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2916 release because it uses the a new
2917 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2918 complete Role implementation. It has
2919 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2920 the the previous CPAN version. This
2921 release also lacks good updated docs,
2922 the official release will have updated docs.
2925 - refactored the keyword exports
2926 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2927 accepts more than one Role at a time
2928 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2929 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2932 - refactored the keyword exports
2933 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2934 accepts more than one Role at a time
2936 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2937 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2938 string enumerations which can be used as
2940 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2943 - more careful checking of params to new()
2946 - much work done on the role composition
2947 - many new tests for conflict detection
2948 and composition edge cases
2949 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2950 looking at the tests
2952 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2953 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2954 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2956 * Moose::Meta::Class
2957 - some small changes to support the new
2959 - some small additions to support Roles
2961 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2962 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2964 - some small changes to support the new
2966 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2967 with the 'handles' option
2968 - added several tests for this
2969 - no docs for this yet
2971 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2973 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2974 thanks to chansen for this commit
2975 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2976 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2977 on a per-attribute basis
2978 - added tests for this
2979 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2980 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2981 experimental feature and probably not finished

2983 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2984 - added tests for this
