1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
9 immutable classes). (mo)
11 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
12 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
13 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
15 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
19 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
21 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
23 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
27 * Fix some indexing issues.
29 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
31 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
35 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
36 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
37 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
38 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
39 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
41 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
42 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
47 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
48 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
49 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
50 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
52 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
53 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
54 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
58 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
59 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
61 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
65 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
66 policy. (Chris Prather)
68 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
69 on this new support policy. (doy)
73 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
74 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
75 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
77 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
78 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
80 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
84 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
85 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
86 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
87 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
94 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
95 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
98 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
102 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
103 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
105 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
106 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
110 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
111 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
112 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
113 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
114 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
115 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
117 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
118 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
120 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
121 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
122 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
123 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
125 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
126 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
128 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
133 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
134 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
136 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
140 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
141 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
142 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
144 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
148 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
149 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
150 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
152 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
153 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
156 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
157 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
160 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
161 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
162 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
164 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
165 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
170 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
171 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
172 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
173 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
175 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
176 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
178 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
179 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
181 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
182 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
183 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
184 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
186 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
187 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
188 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
191 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
192 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
193 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
194 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
196 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
197 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
200 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
201 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
202 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
204 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
208 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
209 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
210 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
212 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
213 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
214 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
217 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
218 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
219 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
221 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
222 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
223 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
225 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
226 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
230 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
231 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
232 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
234 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
235 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
236 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
237 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
239 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
243 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
244 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
245 value is a reference.
247 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
248 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
250 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
254 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
255 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
256 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
258 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
262 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
263 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
267 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
268 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
269 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
271 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
272 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
273 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
275 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
279 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
281 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
285 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
287 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
288 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
293 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
294 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
296 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
297 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
298 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
299 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
300 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
302 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
303 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
304 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
305 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
307 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
311 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
312 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
317 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
319 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
321 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
326 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
328 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
332 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
333 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
334 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
336 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
337 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
338 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
339 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
341 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
342 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
343 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
344 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
345 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
348 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
353 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
354 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
355 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
356 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
357 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
360 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
364 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
367 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
368 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
372 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
373 function (not just method). (doy)
377 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
378 and aren't easily installable/testable.
380 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
384 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
385 to be overridden more easily (doy).
387 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
391 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
392 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
394 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
398 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
399 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
400 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
402 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
406 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
407 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
408 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
410 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
411 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
415 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
416 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
418 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
419 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
423 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
424 is applied to a class (t0m).
426 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
427 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
429 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
432 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
433 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
435 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
436 be much more robust. (doy)
438 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
440 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
443 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
447 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
448 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
450 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
454 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
455 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
457 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
460 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
461 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
462 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
464 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
465 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
466 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
469 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
471 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
475 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
476 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
480 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
482 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
486 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
487 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
491 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
492 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
496 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
498 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
502 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
503 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
507 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
508 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
512 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
513 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
515 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
519 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
520 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
521 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
524 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
528 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
529 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
530 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
531 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
533 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
537 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
538 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
539 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
543 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
546 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
550 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
551 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
552 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
556 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
557 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
559 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
560 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
561 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
562 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
564 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
568 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
572 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
573 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
575 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
576 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
577 - Moose::Util::does_role
578 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
579 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
580 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
582 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
586 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
587 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
588 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
591 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
595 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
596 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
599 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
603 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
604 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
607 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
611 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
613 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
614 class. (Dave Rolsky).
616 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
617 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
618 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
620 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
621 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
622 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
625 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
626 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
628 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
629 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
630 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
632 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
634 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
635 substr et al, again. (sorear)
637 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
639 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
642 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
643 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
645 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
646 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
648 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
649 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
650 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
651 dependencies installed.
653 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
654 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
657 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
659 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
663 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
665 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
666 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
667 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
669 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
670 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
671 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
673 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
674 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
677 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
678 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
679 others. (nothingmuch)
681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
682 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
683 remove_accessors. (doy)
685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
686 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
687 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
690 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
692 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
693 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
694 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
695 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
698 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
699 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
702 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
704 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
706 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
707 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
710 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
711 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
712 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
713 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
714 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
716 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
718 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
719 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
720 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
721 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
722 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
725 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
726 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
727 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
728 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
729 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
731 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
732 which were not receiving the value of
733 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
734 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
735 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
736 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
740 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
741 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
742 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
743 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
744 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
747 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
748 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
749 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
750 - added tests for this (Stevan)
753 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
754 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
755 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
758 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
759 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
760 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
762 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
763 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
764 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
767 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
768 class if you pass it options for
769 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
770 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
771 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
772 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
773 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
774 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
775 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
776 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
777 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
779 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
780 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
781 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
782 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
783 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
786 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
787 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
788 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
789 existing delegation API. (hdp)
791 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
792 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
793 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
794 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
795 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
796 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
799 * Moose::Error::Croak
800 * Moose::Error::Confess
801 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
802 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
805 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
808 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
809 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
810 installing a broken sub. (doy)
813 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
816 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
817 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
818 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
820 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
821 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
822 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
823 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
824 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
827 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
830 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
832 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
833 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
836 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
837 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
841 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
842 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
844 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
845 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
846 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
847 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
848 using it for new code!
850 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
851 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
852 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
853 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
855 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
856 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
857 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
858 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
859 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
860 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
861 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
862 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
865 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
868 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
869 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
873 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
875 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
876 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
877 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
880 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
881 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
882 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
885 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
886 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
888 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
889 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
890 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
893 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
895 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
896 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
897 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
898 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
900 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
902 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
906 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
907 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
909 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
910 associated_methods. (hdp)
911 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
912 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
913 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
914 misspelled) arguments
916 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
917 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
918 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
919 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
923 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
925 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
929 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
930 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
933 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
934 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
936 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
938 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
939 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
941 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
942 * Moose::Manual::Types
943 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
944 string parsing rathole (mst)
946 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
947 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
948 using plain objects instead
950 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
951 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
954 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
956 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
957 three times today (perigrin)
958 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
959 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
961 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
962 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
963 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
964 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
967 - A role's required methods are now represented by
968 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
969 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
970 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
971 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
972 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
975 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
976 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
977 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
978 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
981 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
983 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
986 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
988 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
991 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
992 during global destruction. This method has been made more
993 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
997 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
998 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1001 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1002 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1004 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1005 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1006 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1008 * Moose::Unsweetened
1009 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1011 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1012 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1015 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1019 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1020 methods during global destruction (doy)
1022 * Moose::Meta::Class
1023 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1024 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1025 consumption (Sartak)
1027 * Moose::Meta::Class
1028 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1029 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1032 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1033 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1036 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1037 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1039 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1041 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1045 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1046 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1047 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1050 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1051 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1052 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1055 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1057 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1058 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1059 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1062 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1063 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1064 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1065 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1067 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1068 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1069 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1072 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1075 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1076 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1077 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1081 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1082 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1084 * Moose::Meta::Class
1085 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1087 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1089 * Moose::Meta::Class
1090 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1091 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1094 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1095 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1098 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1099 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1102 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1105 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1108 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1111 * Moose::Meta::Class
1112 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1115 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1118 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1119 * More deprecations and renamings
1120 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1121 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1122 when an object is constructed)
1125 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1126 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1127 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1129 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1130 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1131 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1132 feature, and it works again.
1135 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1137 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1139 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1140 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1141 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1143 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1144 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1145 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1146 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1147 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1149 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1150 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1151 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1152 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1153 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1156 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1157 metaclass object. (hdp)
1159 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1160 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1161 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1162 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1163 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1164 point out this fact. (hdp)
1166 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1167 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1169 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1170 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1172 * Moose::Meta::Class
1173 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1174 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1175 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1176 called during instance construction were passed the
1177 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1178 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1180 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1181 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1184 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1185 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1186 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1189 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1190 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1191 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1192 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1193 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1195 - Moose::Meta::Class
1196 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1198 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1199 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1200 when an object is constructed)
1201 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1203 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1204 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1205 when an object is constructed)
1206 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1207 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1208 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1211 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1213 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1214 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1216 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1218 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1219 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1220 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1223 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1224 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1226 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1228 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1229 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1232 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1235 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1236 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1239 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1240 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1241 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1244 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1248 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1249 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1250 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1253 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1256 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1257 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1258 with recommended workarounds.
1260 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1261 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1264 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1265 (yes, spelled like that).
1267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1268 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1270 * Moose::Meta::Class
1271 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1272 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1274 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1277 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1278 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1279 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1280 instead. Reported by doy.
1282 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1284 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1285 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1288 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1289 message) is now deprecated.
1290 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1291 often got it wrong. For example:
1293 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1295 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1299 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1300 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1301 bite you in weird cases.
1303 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1305 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1306 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1308 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1309 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1313 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1316 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1317 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1320 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1321 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1324 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1327 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1328 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1329 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1330 - added tests for this (stevan)
1332 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1333 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1334 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1335 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1339 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1340 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1341 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1342 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1344 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1345 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1346 - added tests for this (rafl)
1348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1349 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1350 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1351 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1355 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1356 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1359 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1360 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1361 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1363 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1365 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1366 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1368 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1369 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1370 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1371 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1372 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1375 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1376 error message did not specify the attribute name
1379 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1381 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1383 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1384 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1385 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1388 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1391 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1393 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1394 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1395 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1396 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1398 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1400 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1401 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1402 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1403 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1406 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1407 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1410 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1411 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1412 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1413 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1416 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1417 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1418 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1419 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1421 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1422 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1423 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1424 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1425 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1426 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1428 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1429 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1430 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1431 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1432 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1433 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1435 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1436 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1438 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1439 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1440 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1441 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1444 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1447 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1451 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1452 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1454 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1455 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1456 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1457 guts. (nothingmuch).
1459 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1461 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1464 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1465 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1466 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1468 * Moose::Meta::Class
1469 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1472 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1473 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1475 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1476 * Moose::Unsweetened
1477 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1480 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1481 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1482 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1483 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1484 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1485 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1487 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1488 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1489 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1490 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1491 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1492 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1493 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1494 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1495 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1496 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1498 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1500 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1501 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1504 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1505 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1506 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1508 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1509 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1510 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1511 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1512 same methods for a single role did not work
1513 right (worked just fine with multiple
1515 - added test for this (stevan)
1517 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1518 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1519 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1522 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1523 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1524 - added test for this (t0m)
1527 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1528 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1529 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1532 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1533 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1534 - added test for this (t0m)
1536 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1537 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1538 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1539 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1540 - added test for this (perigrin)
1543 - create method for constructing a role
1544 dynamically (Sartak)
1545 - added test for this (Sartak)
1546 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1547 - added test for this (Sartak)
1550 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1552 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1553 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1554 methods is useful (Sartak)
1556 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1558 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1561 * Moose::Meta::Class
1562 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1563 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1564 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1565 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1566 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1567 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1570 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1571 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1573 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1574 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1575 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1576 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1577 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1579 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1581 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1582 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1583 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1586 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1587 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1588 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1589 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1590 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1591 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1594 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1595 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1596 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1597 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1598 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1599 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1600 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1601 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1602 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1603 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1604 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1606 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1607 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1610 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1611 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1612 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1613 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1614 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1616 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1618 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1619 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1620 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1623 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1625 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1626 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1627 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1628 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1631 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1632 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1634 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1636 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1637 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1639 * Moose::Meta::Class
1640 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1641 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1642 a required attribute
1644 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1646 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1647 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1649 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1650 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1652 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1653 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1654 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1655 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1656 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1657 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1658 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1659 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1661 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1662 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1663 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1665 * Roles and role application
1666 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1667 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1668 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1669 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1670 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1672 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1673 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1676 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1677 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1678 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1679 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1680 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1683 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1684 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1685 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1686 changes in the Moose internals.
1688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1690 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1693 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1694 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1695 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1696 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1698 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1699 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1700 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1701 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1703 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1704 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1705 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1706 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1707 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1708 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1709 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1710 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1711 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1712 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1713 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1714 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1715 constraint implementations.
1717 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1721 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1722 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1723 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1724 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1725 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1726 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1727 - added tests for this (rafl)
1729 * Moose::Meta::Class
1730 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1731 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1732 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1733 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1734 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1735 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1736 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1740 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1741 - added tests for this (thepler)
1743 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1744 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1745 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1746 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1749 * Moose::Meta::Class
1750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1751 * Moose::Meta::Method
1754 * Moose::Error::Default
1755 * Moose::Error::Croak
1756 * Moose::Error::Confess
1757 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1758 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1759 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1760 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1761 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1762 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1764 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1766 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1767 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 * Moose::Unsweetened
1770 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1771 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1772 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1775 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1776 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1777 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1778 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1781 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1782 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1784 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1785 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1786 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1787 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1790 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1792 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1793 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1795 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1798 - Various bug fixes.
1800 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1801 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1803 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1805 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1806 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1807 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1808 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1809 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1810 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1813 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1814 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1816 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1817 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1818 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1821 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1822 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1823 dependency to 0.64_07.
1825 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1826 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1827 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1829 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1830 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1834 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1835 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1836 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1837 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1838 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1840 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1841 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1843 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1845 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1846 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1850 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1851 method when that method was provided by another role being
1852 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1853 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1855 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1857 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1858 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1861 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1862 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1863 - added test for this (t0m)
1865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1866 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1867 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1869 - added test for this (t0m)
1872 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1873 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1874 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1878 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1880 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1882 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1883 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1885 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1886 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1887 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1890 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1893 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1894 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1895 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1896 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1900 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1901 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1902 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1905 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1906 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1907 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1908 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1911 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1915 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1916 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1917 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1919 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1921 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1922 created so that the process can be more easily
1923 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1925 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1926 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1927 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1928 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1930 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1931 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1934 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1935 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1937 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1938 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1939 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1941 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1942 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1943 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1945 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1946 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1948 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1949 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1952 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1953 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1957 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1958 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1960 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1961 ... this is not my day today ...
1963 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1964 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1965 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1966 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1967 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1970 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1971 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1972 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1973 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1974 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1977 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1979 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1980 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1981 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1982 this is not ever something you want to do
1983 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1984 - added tests for this (stevan)
1987 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1989 - added test for this
1991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1992 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1993 - added tests for this (wreis)
1995 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1996 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1997 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1998 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2000 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2001 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2002 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2005 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2007 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2009 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2012 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2013 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2014 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2015 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2016 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2017 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2018 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2019 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2020 - added tests for this
2022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2023 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2024 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2025 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2027 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2030 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2031 - added tests for this (sartak)
2032 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2033 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2036 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2038 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2039 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2042 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2043 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2044 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue

2210 ->body when looping through the
2211 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2213 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2214 eating the $@ values, and so not
2215 working correctly, it still kind of
2216 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2217 - added tests for this

2357 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2359 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2696 - fixed how required methods are handled
2697 when they encounter overriden or modified
2698 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2699 - added tests for this
2701 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2702 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2703 the | always creates a union and so is
2704 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2705 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2707 - added more tests for this
2709 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2712 * Parameterized Types
2713 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2714 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2715 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2716 They can also be nested:
2717 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2718 And work with the type unions as well:
2719 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2721 * Better Framework Extendability
2722 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2723 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2724 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2725 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2728 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2729 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2730 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2731 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2885 the other side (perigrin)
2887 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2888 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2889 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2890 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2891 prototypes for functions
2892 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2893 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2903 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2906 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2907 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2908 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2909 - added tests for this
2911 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2913 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2935 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2937 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2938 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2939 so this release is just to fix that.
2942 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2943 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2944 (thanks to konobi for this)

2956 functions to facilitate introspection.
2958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2959 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2960 to build the list of delegated methods
2961 correctly (and not override important
2962 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2964 - added tests and docs for this
2965 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2966 so that you can actually document your
2967 attributes and inspect them through the
2969 - added tests and docs for this
2971 * Moose::Meta::Class
2972 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2973 it will first look in for the class in the
2974 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2975 then default to just loading $name.
2976 - added tests and docs for this
2978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2979 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2980 - added test for this
2983 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2984 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2985 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2986 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2988 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2989 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2992 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2994 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2995 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2996 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2999 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3000 !! for this developer release to work !!
3002 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3003 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3004 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3005 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3006 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3007 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3008 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3009 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3010 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3011 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3012 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3014 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3015 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3016 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3017 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3020 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3022 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3023 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3024 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3026 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3028 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3029 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3032 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3033 called unless they actually need to be.
3034 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3035 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3036 DEMOLISH method present.
3038 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3039 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3040 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3041 type constraint, which allows for a
3042 hand optimized version of the type
3043 constraint to be used when possible.
3044 - Any internally created type constraints
3045 now provide an optimized version as well.
3047 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3049 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3050 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3051 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3054 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3055 your class namespace of these exported
3058 * Moose::Meta::Class
3059 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3060 comes up during global destruction
3062 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3066 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3070 - changed how we do type checks so that
3071 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3074 - moved accessor generation methods to
3075 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3076 conform to the API changes from
3079 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3080 - changed how constraints are compiled
3081 so that we do less recursion and more
3082 iteration. This makes the type check
3084 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3088 - created this from methods formerly found in
3089 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3091 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3092 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3094 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3095 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3097 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3098 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3100 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3103 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3104 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3105 - added tests for this
3106 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3107 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3108 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3109 - removed tests for this
3111 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3113 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3114 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3115 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3118 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3119 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3120 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3122 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3123 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3124 comments for more info.
3127 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3128 asked questions and common problems
3130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3131 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3132 - added tests for this
3134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3135 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3136 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3137 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3139 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3140 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3143 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3144 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3145 is much appreciated :)
3146 - added tests for this
3148 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3149 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3150 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3153 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3154 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3156 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3158 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3159 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3163 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3164 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3165 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3167 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3169 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3172 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3173 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3174 keywords because we need to localize them.
3175 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3177 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3178 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3179 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3182 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3185 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3186 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3187 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3190 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3191 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3192 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3194 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3196 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3197 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3198 bottom of your class file.
3201 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3204 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3206 - improved error message when loading modules so
3207 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3208 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3209 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3212 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3213 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3214 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3216 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3217 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3219 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3220 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3221 turn them on for you.
3222 - added tests for this
3223 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3224 in Moose::Meta::Class

3251 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3252 - This release works in combination with
3253 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3254 release because it uses the a new
3255 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3256 complete Role implementation. It has
3257 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3258 the the previous CPAN version. This
3259 release also lacks good updated docs,
3260 the official release will have updated docs.
3263 - refactored the keyword exports
3264 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3265 accepts more than one Role at a time

3276 string enumerations which can be used as
3278 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3281 - more careful checking of params to new()
3284 - much work done on the role composition
3285 - many new tests for conflict detection
3286 and composition edge cases
3287 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3288 looking at the tests

3311 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3312 thanks to chansen for this commit
3313 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3314 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3315 on a per-attribute basis
3316 - added tests for this
3317 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3318 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3319 experimental feature and probably not finished

3321 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3322 - added tests for this
