1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
9 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
10 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
11 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
13 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
14 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
15 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
19 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
20 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
22 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
26 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
27 policy. (Chris Prather)
29 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
30 on this new support policy. (doy)
34 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
35 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
36 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
38 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed all the docs. Now it's
39 listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
41 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
45 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
46 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
47 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
48 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
55 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
56 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
59 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
63 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
64 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
66 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
67 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
72 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
73 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
74 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
75 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
76 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
78 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
79 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
81 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
82 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
83 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
86 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
87 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
89 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
94 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
95 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
97 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
101 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
102 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
103 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
105 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
109 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
110 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
111 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
113 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
114 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
117 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
118 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
121 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
122 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
123 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
125 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
126 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
131 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
132 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
133 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
134 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
136 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
137 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
139 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
140 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
142 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
143 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
144 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
145 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
147 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
148 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
149 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
152 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
153 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
154 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
155 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
157 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
158 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
161 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
162 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
163 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
165 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
169 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
170 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
171 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
173 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
174 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
175 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
178 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
179 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
180 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
182 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
183 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
184 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
186 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
187 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
191 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
192 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
193 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
195 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
196 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
197 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
198 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
200 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
204 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
205 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
206 value is a reference.
208 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
209 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
211 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
215 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
216 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
217 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
219 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
223 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
224 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
228 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
229 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
230 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
232 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
233 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
234 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
236 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
240 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
242 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
246 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
248 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
249 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
254 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
255 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
257 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
258 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
259 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
260 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
261 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
263 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
264 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
265 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
266 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
268 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
272 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
273 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
278 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
280 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
282 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
287 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
289 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
293 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
294 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
295 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
297 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
298 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
299 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
300 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
302 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
303 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
304 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
305 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
306 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
309 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
314 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
315 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
316 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
317 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
318 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
321 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
325 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
328 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
329 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
333 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
334 function (not just method). (doy)
338 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
339 and aren't easily installable/testable.
341 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
345 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
346 to be overridden more easily (doy).
348 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
352 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
353 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
355 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
359 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
360 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
361 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
363 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
367 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
368 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
369 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
371 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
372 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
376 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
377 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
379 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
380 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
384 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
385 is applied to a class (t0m).
387 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
388 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
390 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
393 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
394 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
396 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
397 be much more robust. (doy)
399 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
401 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
404 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
408 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
409 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
411 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
415 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
416 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
418 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
421 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
422 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
423 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
425 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
426 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
427 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
430 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
432 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
436 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
437 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
441 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
443 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
448 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
452 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
453 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
457 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
459 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
463 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
464 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
468 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
469 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
473 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
474 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
476 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
480 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
481 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
482 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
485 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
489 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
490 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
491 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
492 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
494 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
498 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
499 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
500 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
504 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
507 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
512 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
513 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
517 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
518 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
520 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
521 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
522 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
523 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
525 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
529 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
533 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
534 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
536 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
537 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
538 - Moose::Util::does_role
539 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
540 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
541 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
543 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
547 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
548 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
549 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
552 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
556 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
557 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
560 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
564 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
565 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
568 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
572 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
574 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
575 class. (Dave Rolsky).
577 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
578 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
579 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
581 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
582 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
583 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
586 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
587 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
589 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
590 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
591 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
593 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
595 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
596 substr et al, again. (sorear)
598 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
600 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
603 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
604 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
606 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
607 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
609 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
610 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
611 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
612 dependencies installed.
614 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
615 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
618 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
620 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
624 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
627 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
628 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
631 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
632 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
634 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
635 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
638 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
639 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
640 others. (nothingmuch)
642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
643 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
644 remove_accessors. (doy)
646 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
647 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
648 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
650 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
651 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
653 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
654 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
655 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
656 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
659 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
660 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
662 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
663 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
665 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
667 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
668 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
671 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
672 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
673 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
674 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
675 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
677 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
679 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
680 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
681 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
682 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
683 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
686 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
687 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
688 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
689 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
690 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
692 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
693 which were not receiving the value of
694 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
695 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
696 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
697 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
701 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
702 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
703 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
704 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
705 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
708 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
709 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
710 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
711 - added tests for this (Stevan)
714 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
715 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
716 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
719 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
721 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
724 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
725 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
728 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
729 class if you pass it options for
730 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
731 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
732 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
733 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
734 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
735 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
736 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
737 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
738 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
740 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
741 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
742 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
743 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
744 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
747 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
749 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
750 existing delegation API. (hdp)
752 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
753 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
754 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
755 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
756 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
757 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
760 * Moose::Error::Croak
761 * Moose::Error::Confess
762 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
763 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
766 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
769 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
770 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
771 installing a broken sub. (doy)
774 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
777 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
778 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
779 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
781 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
782 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
783 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
784 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
785 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
787 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
788 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
791 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
793 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
794 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
797 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
798 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
801 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
802 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
803 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
806 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
807 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
808 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
809 using it for new code!
811 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
812 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
813 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
814 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
816 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
817 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
818 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
819 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
820 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
821 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
822 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
823 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
826 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
829 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
830 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
834 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
837 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
838 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
842 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
843 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
846 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
847 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
849 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
850 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
851 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
854 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
856 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
857 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
858 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
859 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
861 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
863 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
866 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
867 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
868 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
870 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
871 associated_methods. (hdp)
872 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
873 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
874 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
875 misspelled) arguments
877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
878 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
879 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
880 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
883 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
884 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
886 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
889 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
890 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
891 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
894 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
895 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
897 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
899 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
900 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
902 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
903 * Moose::Manual::Types
904 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
905 string parsing rathole (mst)
907 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
908 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
909 using plain objects instead
911 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
912 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
915 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
917 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
918 three times today (perigrin)
919 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
920 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
922 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
923 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
924 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
925 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
928 - A role's required methods are now represented by
929 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
930 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
931 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
932 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
933 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
936 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
937 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
938 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
939 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
942 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
944 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
947 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
949 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
952 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
953 during global destruction. This method has been made more
954 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
958 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
959 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
962 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
963 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
965 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
966 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
967 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
970 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
972 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
973 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
976 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
980 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
981 methods during global destruction (doy)
984 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
985 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
989 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
990 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
993 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
994 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
997 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
998 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1000 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1002 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1006 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1007 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1008 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1011 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1012 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1013 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1016 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1018 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1019 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1020 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1024 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1025 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1026 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1028 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1029 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1030 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1033 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1036 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1037 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1038 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1042 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1043 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1045 * Moose::Meta::Class
1046 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1048 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1050 * Moose::Meta::Class
1051 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1052 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1055 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1056 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1059 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1060 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1063 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1066 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1068 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1069 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1072 * Moose::Meta::Class
1073 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1075 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1076 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1079 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1080 * More deprecations and renamings
1081 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1082 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1083 when an object is constructed)
1086 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1087 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1088 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1090 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1091 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1092 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1093 feature, and it works again.
1096 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1098 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1100 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1101 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1102 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1105 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1106 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1107 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1108 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1111 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1112 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1113 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1114 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1117 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1118 metaclass object. (hdp)
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1121 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1122 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1123 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1124 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1125 point out this fact. (hdp)
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1128 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1130 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1131 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1133 * Moose::Meta::Class
1134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1135 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1136 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1137 called during instance construction were passed the
1138 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1139 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1141 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1142 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1145 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1146 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1147 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1150 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1151 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1152 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1153 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1154 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1156 - Moose::Meta::Class
1157 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1159 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1160 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1161 when an object is constructed)
1162 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1164 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1165 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1166 when an object is constructed)
1167 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1168 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1169 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1172 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1174 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1175 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1177 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1179 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1180 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1181 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1184 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1185 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1187 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1189 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1190 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1192 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1193 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1196 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1197 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1200 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1201 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1202 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1205 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1209 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1210 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1211 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1214 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1217 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1218 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1219 with recommended workarounds.
1221 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1222 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1225 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1226 (yes, spelled like that).
1228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1229 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1231 * Moose::Meta::Class
1232 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1233 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1235 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1238 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1239 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1240 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1241 instead. Reported by doy.
1243 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1245 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1246 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1249 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1250 message) is now deprecated.
1251 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1252 often got it wrong. For example:
1254 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1256 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1260 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1261 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1262 bite you in weird cases.
1264 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1265 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1266 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1267 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1269 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1270 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1274 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1277 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1278 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1281 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1282 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1285 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1288 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1289 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1290 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1291 - added tests for this (stevan)
1293 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1294 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1295 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1296 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1300 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1301 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1302 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1303 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1305 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1306 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1307 - added tests for this (rafl)
1309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1310 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1311 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1312 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1316 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1317 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1320 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1321 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1322 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1324 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1326 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1327 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1330 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1331 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1332 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1333 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1336 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1337 error message did not specify the attribute name
1340 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1342 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1344 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1345 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1346 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1349 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1352 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1354 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1355 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1356 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1357 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1359 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1361 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1362 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1363 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1364 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1367 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1368 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1370 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1371 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1372 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1373 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1374 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1377 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1378 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1379 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1380 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1383 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1384 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1385 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1386 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1387 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1389 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1390 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1391 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1392 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1393 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1394 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1396 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1397 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1399 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1400 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1401 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1402 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1404 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1405 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1408 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1412 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1413 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1415 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1416 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1417 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1418 guts. (nothingmuch).
1420 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1422 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1425 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1426 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1427 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1429 * Moose::Meta::Class
1430 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1433 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1434 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1436 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1437 * Moose::Unsweetened
1438 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1441 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1442 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1443 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1444 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1445 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1446 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1449 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1450 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1451 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1452 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1453 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1454 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1455 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1456 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1457 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1459 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1461 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1462 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1464 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1465 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1466 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1467 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1469 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1470 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1471 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1472 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1473 same methods for a single role did not work
1474 right (worked just fine with multiple
1476 - added test for this (stevan)
1478 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1479 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1480 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1483 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1484 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1485 - added test for this (t0m)
1488 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1489 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1490 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1493 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1494 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1495 - added test for this (t0m)
1497 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1498 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1499 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1500 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1501 - added test for this (perigrin)
1504 - create method for constructing a role
1505 dynamically (Sartak)
1506 - added test for this (Sartak)
1507 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1508 - added test for this (Sartak)
1511 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1513 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1514 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1515 methods is useful (Sartak)
1517 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1519 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1522 * Moose::Meta::Class
1523 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1524 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1525 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1526 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1527 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1528 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1531 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1532 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1534 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1535 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1536 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1537 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1538 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1540 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1542 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1543 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1544 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1547 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1548 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1549 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1550 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1551 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1552 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1555 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1556 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1557 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1558 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1559 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1560 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1561 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1562 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1563 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1564 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1565 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1567 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1568 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1571 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1572 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1573 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1574 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1575 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1577 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1579 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1580 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1581 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1583 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1584 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1586 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1587 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1588 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1589 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1592 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1593 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1595 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1597 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1598 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1600 * Moose::Meta::Class
1601 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1602 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1603 a required attribute
1605 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1606 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1607 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1608 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1610 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1611 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1614 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1615 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1616 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1617 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1618 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1619 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1620 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1622 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1623 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1624 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1626 * Roles and role application
1627 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1628 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1629 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1630 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1631 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1633 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1634 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1637 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1638 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1639 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1640 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1641 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1644 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1645 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1646 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1647 changes in the Moose internals.
1649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1650 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1651 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1655 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1656 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1657 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1659 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1660 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1661 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1662 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1664 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1665 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1666 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1667 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1668 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1669 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1670 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1671 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1672 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1673 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1674 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1675 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1676 constraint implementations.
1678 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1682 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1683 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1684 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1685 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1686 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1687 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 - added tests for this (rafl)
1690 * Moose::Meta::Class
1691 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1692 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1693 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1694 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1695 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1696 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1697 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1698 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1701 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1702 - added tests for this (thepler)
1704 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1705 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1706 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1707 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1710 * Moose::Meta::Class
1711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1712 * Moose::Meta::Method
1715 * Moose::Error::Default
1716 * Moose::Error::Croak
1717 * Moose::Error::Confess
1718 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1719 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1720 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1721 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1722 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1723 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1725 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1727 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1728 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1730 * Moose::Unsweetened
1731 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1732 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1733 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1735 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1736 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1737 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1738 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1739 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1742 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1743 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1745 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1746 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1747 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1748 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1751 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1753 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1754 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1756 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1759 - Various bug fixes.
1761 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1762 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1764 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1766 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1767 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1769 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1770 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1771 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1773 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1774 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1775 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1777 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1778 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1779 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1782 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1783 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1784 dependency to 0.64_07.
1786 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1787 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1788 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1791 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1794 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1795 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1796 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1797 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1798 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1799 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1801 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1802 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1804 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1806 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1807 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1811 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1812 method when that method was provided by another role being
1813 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1814 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1816 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1818 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1819 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1822 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1823 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1824 - added test for this (t0m)
1826 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1827 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1828 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1830 - added test for this (t0m)
1833 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1834 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1835 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1838 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1839 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1841 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1843 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1844 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1846 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1847 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1848 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1850 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1851 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1855 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1856 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1857 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1861 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1862 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1863 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1866 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1867 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1868 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1869 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1872 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1876 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1877 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1878 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1880 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1882 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1883 created so that the process can be more easily
1884 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1886 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1887 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1888 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1889 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1892 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1895 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1896 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1898 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1899 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1900 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1902 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1903 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1904 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1906 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1907 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1909 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1910 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1913 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1914 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1918 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1919 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1921 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1922 ... this is not my day today ...
1924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1925 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1926 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1927 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1928 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1931 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1932 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1933 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1934 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1935 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1938 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1940 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1941 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1942 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1943 this is not ever something you want to do
1944 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1945 - added tests for this (stevan)
1948 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1950 - added test for this
1952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1953 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1954 - added tests for this (wreis)
1956 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1957 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1958 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1959 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1961 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1962 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1963 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1966 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1968 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1970 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1973 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1974 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1975 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1976 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1977 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1978 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1979 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1980 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1981 - added tests for this
1983 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1984 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1985 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1986 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1988 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1991 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1992 - added tests for this (sartak)
1993 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1994 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1997 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1999 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2000 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2002 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2003 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2004 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2005 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2007 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2009 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2010 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2013 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2014 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2015 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2018 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2019 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2021 - added docs for this (TODO).
2022 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2023 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2024 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2025 - fix builder and default both being used
2030 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2032 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2033 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2034 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2038 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2042 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2043 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2044 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2047 - move the ClassName type check code to
2048 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2050 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2051 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2053 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2054 (early morning release engineering)--

2087 - added more descriptive error message to help
2088 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

2091 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2093 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2094 XS based functionality is now optional
2095 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2096 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2097 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2099 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2100 to take care of this, mostly we added

2108 is currently not supported in roles,
2109 but, ... patches welcome
2110 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2111 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2112 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2115 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2116 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2117 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2118 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

2120 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2121 - added test for this
2123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2167 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2170 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2171 ->body when looping through the
2172 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2174 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2175 eating the $@ values, and so not
2176 working correctly, it still kind of
2177 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2178 - added tests for this

2200 drink more coffee before
2201 doing release engineering
2203 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2204 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2205 modules. This fixes that.

2208 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2209 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2318 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2320 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2657 - fixed how required methods are handled
2658 when they encounter overriden or modified
2659 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2660 - added tests for this
2662 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2663 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2664 the | always creates a union and so is
2665 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2666 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2668 - added more tests for this
2670 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2673 * Parameterized Types
2674 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2675 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2676 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2677 They can also be nested:
2678 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2679 And work with the type unions as well:
2680 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2682 * Better Framework Extendability
2683 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2684 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2685 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2686 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2689 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2690 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2691 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2692 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2695 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2697 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2698 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2850 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2851 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2852 prototypes for functions
2853 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2854 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2863 - tests added for this
2864 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2867 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2868 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2869 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2870 - added tests for this
2872 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2874 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2896 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2898 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2899 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2900 so this release is just to fix that.
2903 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2904 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2905 (thanks to konobi for this)

2917 functions to facilitate introspection.
2919 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2920 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2921 to build the list of delegated methods

2923 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2925 - added tests and docs for this
2926 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2927 so that you can actually document your
2928 attributes and inspect them through the
2930 - added tests and docs for this
2932 * Moose::Meta::Class
2933 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2934 it will first look in for the class in the
2935 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2936 then default to just loading $name.
2937 - added tests and docs for this
2939 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2940 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2941 - added test for this
2944 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2945 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2946 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2947 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2949 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2950 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2953 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2955 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2956 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2957 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2960 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2961 !! for this developer release to work !!
2963 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2964 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2965 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2966 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2967 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2968 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2969 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2970 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2971 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2972 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2973 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2975 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2976 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2977 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2978 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2981 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2982 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2983 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2984 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2985 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2987 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2989 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2990 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2993 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2994 called unless they actually need to be.
2995 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2996 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2997 DEMOLISH method present.
2999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3001 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3002 type constraint, which allows for a
3003 hand optimized version of the type
3004 constraint to be used when possible.
3005 - Any internally created type constraints
3006 now provide an optimized version as well.
3008 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3010 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3011 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3012 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3014 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3015 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3016 your class namespace of these exported
3019 * Moose::Meta::Class
3020 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3021 comes up during global destruction
3023 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3027 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3031 - changed how we do type checks so that
3032 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3035 - moved accessor generation methods to
3036 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3037 conform to the API changes from
3040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3041 - changed how constraints are compiled
3042 so that we do less recursion and more
3043 iteration. This makes the type check
3045 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3049 - created this from methods formerly found in
3050 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3052 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3053 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3055 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3056 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3064 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3065 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3066 - added tests for this
3067 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3068 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3069 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3070 - removed tests for this
3072 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3074 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3075 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3076 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3079 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3080 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3081 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3083 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3084 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3085 comments for more info.
3088 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3089 asked questions and common problems
3091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3092 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3093 - added tests for this
3095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3096 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3097 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3098 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3100 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3101 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3104 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3105 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3106 is much appreciated :)
3107 - added tests for this
3109 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3110 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3111 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3115 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3117 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3119 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3120 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3124 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3125 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3126 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3128 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3130 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3133 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3134 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3135 keywords because we need to localize them.
3136 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3138 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3139 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3140 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3143 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3146 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3147 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3148 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3151 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3152 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3153 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3155 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3157 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3158 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3159 bottom of your class file.
3162 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3165 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3167 - improved error message when loading modules so
3168 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3169 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3170 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3173 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3174 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3175 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3177 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3178 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3180 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3181 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3182 turn them on for you.
3183 - added tests for this
3184 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3185 in Moose::Meta::Class

3212 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3213 - This release works in combination with
3214 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3215 release because it uses the a new
3216 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3217 complete Role implementation. It has
3218 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3219 the the previous CPAN version. This
3220 release also lacks good updated docs,
3221 the official release will have updated docs.
3224 - refactored the keyword exports
3225 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3226 accepts more than one Role at a time

3237 string enumerations which can be used as
3239 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3242 - more careful checking of params to new()
3245 - much work done on the role composition
3246 - many new tests for conflict detection
3247 and composition edge cases
3248 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3249 looking at the tests
3251 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3252 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3253 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3274 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3275 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3276 on a per-attribute basis
3277 - added tests for this
3278 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3279 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3280 experimental feature and probably not finished

3282 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3283 - added tests for this
