1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
9 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
14 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
15 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
17 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
18 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
19 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
21 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
25 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
27 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
31 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
33 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
34 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
39 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
40 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
42 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
43 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
44 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
45 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
48 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
49 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
50 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
51 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
53 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
57 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
58 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
63 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
65 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
67 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
72 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
74 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
78 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
79 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
80 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
82 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
83 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
84 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
85 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
87 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
88 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
89 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
90 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
91 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
94 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
99 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
100 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
101 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
102 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
103 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
106 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
110 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
113 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
114 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
118 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
119 function (not just method). (doy)
123 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
124 and aren't easily installable/testable.
126 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
130 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
131 to be overridden more easily (doy).
133 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
137 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
138 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
140 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
144 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
145 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
146 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
148 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
152 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
153 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
154 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
156 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
157 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
161 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
162 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
164 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
165 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
169 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
170 is applied to a class (t0m).
172 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
173 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
175 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
178 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
179 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
181 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
182 be much more robust. (doy)
184 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
186 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
189 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
193 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
194 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
196 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
200 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
201 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
203 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
206 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
207 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
208 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
210 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
211 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
212 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
215 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
217 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
221 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
222 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
226 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
228 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
233 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
237 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
238 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
242 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
244 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
248 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
249 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
253 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
254 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
258 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
259 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
261 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
265 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
266 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
267 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
270 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
274 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
275 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
276 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
277 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
279 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
283 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
284 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
285 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
289 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
292 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
297 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
298 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
302 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
303 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
305 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
306 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
307 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
308 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
310 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
314 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
318 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
319 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
321 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
322 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
323 - Moose::Util::does_role
324 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
325 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
326 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
328 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
332 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
333 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
334 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
337 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
341 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
342 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
345 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
349 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
350 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
353 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
357 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
359 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
360 class. (Dave Rolsky).
362 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
363 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
364 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
366 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
367 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
368 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
371 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
372 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
374 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
375 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
376 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
378 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
380 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
381 substr et al, again. (sorear)
383 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
385 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
388 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
389 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
391 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
392 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
394 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
395 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
396 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
397 dependencies installed.
399 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
400 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
403 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
405 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
409 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
412 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
413 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
416 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
417 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
419 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
420 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
423 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
424 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
425 others. (nothingmuch)
427 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
428 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
429 remove_accessors. (doy)
431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
432 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
433 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
436 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
438 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
440 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
441 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
444 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
445 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
448 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
450 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
452 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
453 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
457 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
458 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
459 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
460 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
462 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
465 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
466 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
467 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
468 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
471 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
472 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
473 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
474 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
475 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
477 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
478 which were not receiving the value of
479 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
480 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
481 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
482 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
486 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
487 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
488 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
489 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
490 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
493 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
494 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
495 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
496 - added tests for this (Stevan)
499 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
500 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
501 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
504 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
506 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
508 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
509 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
510 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
513 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
514 class if you pass it options for
515 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
516 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
517 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
518 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
519 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
520 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
521 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
522 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
523 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
525 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
526 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
527 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
528 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
529 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
532 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
534 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
535 existing delegation API. (hdp)
537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
538 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
539 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
540 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
541 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
542 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
545 * Moose::Error::Croak
546 * Moose::Error::Confess
547 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
548 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
551 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
554 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
555 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
556 installing a broken sub. (doy)
559 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
562 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
563 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
564 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
566 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
567 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
568 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
569 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
570 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
573 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
576 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
578 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
579 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
582 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
583 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
587 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
588 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
591 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
592 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
593 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
594 using it for new code!
596 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
597 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
598 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
599 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
601 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
602 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
603 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
604 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
605 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
606 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
607 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
608 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
611 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
614 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
615 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
618 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
619 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
621 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
622 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
623 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
627 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
628 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
631 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
632 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
635 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
636 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
639 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
641 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
642 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
643 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
644 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
646 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
648 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
651 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
652 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
653 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
655 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
656 associated_methods. (hdp)
657 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
658 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
659 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
660 misspelled) arguments
662 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
663 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
664 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
665 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
667 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
668 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
669 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
671 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
674 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
675 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
676 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
679 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
680 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
682 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
684 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
685 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
687 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
688 * Moose::Manual::Types
689 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
690 string parsing rathole (mst)
692 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
693 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
694 using plain objects instead
696 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
697 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
700 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
702 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
703 three times today (perigrin)
704 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
705 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
707 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
708 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
709 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
710 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
713 - A role's required methods are now represented by
714 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
715 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
716 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
717 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
718 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
721 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
722 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
723 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
724 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
727 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
729 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
732 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
734 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
737 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
738 during global destruction. This method has been made more
739 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
743 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
744 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
747 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
748 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
750 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
751 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
752 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
755 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
757 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
758 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
761 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
765 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
766 methods during global destruction (doy)
769 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
770 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
774 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
775 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
778 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
779 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
782 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
783 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
785 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
787 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
791 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
792 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
793 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
796 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
797 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
798 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
801 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
803 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
804 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
805 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
809 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
810 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
811 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
813 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
814 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
815 of the Moose core (Sartak)
818 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
821 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
822 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
823 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
827 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
828 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
831 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
833 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
836 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
837 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
840 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
841 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
844 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
845 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
848 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
851 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
853 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
854 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
858 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
860 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
861 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
864 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
865 * More deprecations and renamings
866 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
867 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
868 when an object is constructed)
871 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
872 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
873 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
875 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
876 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
877 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
878 feature, and it works again.
881 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
883 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
885 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
886 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
887 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
889 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
890 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
891 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
892 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
893 message. Test provided by perigrin.
895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
896 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
897 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
898 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
899 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
902 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
903 metaclass object. (hdp)
905 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
906 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
907 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
908 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
909 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
910 point out this fact. (hdp)
912 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
913 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
915 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
916 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
919 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
920 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
921 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
922 called during instance construction were passed the
923 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
924 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
926 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
927 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
930 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
931 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
932 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
935 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
936 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
937 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
938 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
939 them, but they are not for "public" use.
942 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
944 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
945 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
946 when an object is constructed)
947 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
949 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
950 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
951 when an object is constructed)
952 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
953 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
954 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
957 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
959 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
960 * No changes from 0.72_01.
962 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
964 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
965 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
966 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
969 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
970 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
972 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
974 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
975 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
977 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
978 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
981 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
982 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
985 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
986 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
987 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
990 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
994 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
995 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
996 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
998 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
999 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1002 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1003 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1004 with recommended workarounds.
1006 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1007 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1009 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1010 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1011 (yes, spelled like that).
1013 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1014 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1016 * Moose::Meta::Class
1017 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1018 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1020 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1023 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1024 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1025 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1026 instead. Reported by doy.
1028 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1030 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1031 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1033 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1034 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1035 message) is now deprecated.
1036 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1037 often got it wrong. For example:
1039 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1041 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1045 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1046 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1047 bite you in weird cases.
1049 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1050 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1051 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1052 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1054 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1055 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1059 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1062 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1063 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1066 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1067 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1070 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1073 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1075 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1076 - added tests for this (stevan)
1078 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1079 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1080 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1081 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1085 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1086 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1087 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1088 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1090 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1091 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1092 - added tests for this (rafl)
1094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1095 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1096 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1097 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1101 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1102 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1105 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1106 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1107 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1109 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1111 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1112 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1114 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1115 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1116 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1117 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1118 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1121 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1122 error message did not specify the attribute name
1125 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1127 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1129 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1130 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1131 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1134 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1137 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1139 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1140 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1141 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1142 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1144 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1146 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1147 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1148 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1149 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1152 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1153 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1156 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1157 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1158 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1159 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1161 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1162 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1163 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1164 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1165 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1168 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1169 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1170 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1171 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1172 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1174 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1175 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1176 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1177 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1178 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1179 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1182 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1184 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1185 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1186 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1187 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1190 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1193 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1197 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1198 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1201 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1202 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1203 guts. (nothingmuch).
1205 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1207 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1210 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1211 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1212 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1214 * Moose::Meta::Class
1215 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1218 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1219 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1221 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1222 * Moose::Unsweetened
1223 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1226 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1227 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1228 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1229 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1230 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1231 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1233 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1234 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1235 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1236 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1237 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1238 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1239 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1240 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1241 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1242 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1244 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1246 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1247 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1249 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1250 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1251 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1252 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1254 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1255 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1256 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1257 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1258 same methods for a single role did not work
1259 right (worked just fine with multiple
1261 - added test for this (stevan)
1263 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1264 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1265 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1268 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1269 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1270 - added test for this (t0m)
1273 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1274 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1275 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1278 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1279 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1280 - added test for this (t0m)
1282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1283 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1284 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1285 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1286 - added test for this (perigrin)
1289 - create method for constructing a role
1290 dynamically (Sartak)
1291 - added test for this (Sartak)
1292 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1293 - added test for this (Sartak)
1296 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1298 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1299 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1300 methods is useful (Sartak)
1302 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1303 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1304 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class
1308 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1309 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1310 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1311 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1312 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1313 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1316 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1317 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1319 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1320 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1321 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1322 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1323 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1325 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1327 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1328 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1329 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1332 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1333 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1334 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1335 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1336 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1337 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1341 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1342 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1343 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1344 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1345 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1346 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1347 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1348 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1349 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1350 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1352 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1353 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1356 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1357 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1358 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1359 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1360 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1362 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1364 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1365 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1366 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1369 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1372 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1373 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1374 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1377 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1378 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1380 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1382 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1383 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Class
1386 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1387 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1388 a required attribute
1390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1391 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1392 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1393 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1395 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1396 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1399 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1400 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1401 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1402 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1403 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1404 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1405 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1407 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1408 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1409 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1411 * Roles and role application
1412 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1413 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1414 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1415 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1416 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1418 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1419 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1422 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1423 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1424 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1425 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1426 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1429 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1430 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1431 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1432 changes in the Moose internals.
1434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1436 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1440 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1441 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1442 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1444 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1445 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1446 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1447 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1449 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1450 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1451 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1452 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1453 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1454 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1455 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1456 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1457 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1458 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1459 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1460 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1461 constraint implementations.
1463 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1467 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1468 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1469 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1470 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1471 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1472 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1473 - added tests for this (rafl)
1475 * Moose::Meta::Class
1476 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1477 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1478 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1479 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1480 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1481 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1482 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1483 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1486 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1487 - added tests for this (thepler)
1489 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1490 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1491 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1492 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1495 * Moose::Meta::Class
1496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1497 * Moose::Meta::Method
1500 * Moose::Error::Default
1501 * Moose::Error::Croak
1502 * Moose::Error::Confess
1503 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1504 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1505 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1506 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1507 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1508 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1510 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1512 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1513 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 * Moose::Unsweetened
1516 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1517 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1518 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1521 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1522 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1523 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1524 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1527 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1528 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1530 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1531 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1532 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1533 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1536 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1538 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1539 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1541 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1544 - Various bug fixes.

1549 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1551 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1552 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1553 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1554 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1555 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1556 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1558 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1559 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1560 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1562 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

1567 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1568 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1569 dependency to 0.64_07.
1571 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1572 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1573 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1575 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1576 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1579 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1580 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1581 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1582 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1583 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1584 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1586 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1587 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1589 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1591 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1592 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1596 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1597 method when that method was provided by another role being
1598 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1599 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1601 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1608 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1609 - added test for this (t0m)
1611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1612 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1613 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1615 - added test for this (t0m)
1618 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1619 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1620 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1623 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1624 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1626 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1628 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1629 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1631 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1632 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1633 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1635 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1636 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1639 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1640 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1641 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1642 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1646 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1647 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1648 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1652 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1653 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1654 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1657 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1661 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1663 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1665 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1667 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1668 created so that the process can be more easily

1694 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1695 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1698 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1699 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1703 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1704 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1706 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1707 ... this is not my day today ...
1709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1710 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1711 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1712 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1713 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1716 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1717 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1718 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1719 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1720 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1723 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1725 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1726 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1727 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1728 this is not ever something you want to do
1729 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1730 - added tests for this (stevan)
1733 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1735 - added test for this
1737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1743 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1744 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1746 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1747 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1748 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1751 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1753 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1755 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1758 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1759 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1760 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1761 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1762 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1763 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1764 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1765 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1766 - added tests for this
1768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1769 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1770 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1771 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1773 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1829 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1832 - move the ClassName type check code to
1833 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)

1836 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1838 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1839 (early morning release engineering)--
1841 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1842 which was causing the indexer to choke
1844 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1845 (late night release engineering)--
1847 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1848 changes in this release
1850 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

1856 since it is called so often by &meta
1858 * Moose::Meta::Class
1860 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1861 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1865 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1866 method for immutablization to check if the
1867 destructor object even needs to be created
1870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1871 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1872 - added more descriptive error message to help
1873 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1874 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1876 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1878 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1879 XS based functionality is now optional
1880 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1881 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1882 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1884 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1885 to take care of this, mostly we added
1886 support for the package_name and name
1887 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1888 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1889 support regexp matching of names
1890 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1891 - tests added for this
1892 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1893 is currently not supported in roles,
1894 but, ... patches welcome
1895 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1896 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1897 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1900 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1901 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1902 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1903 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1904 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1905 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1906 - added test for this
1908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1909 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1910 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1913 * Moose::Meta::Class
1914 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1918 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1920 - added tests for this
1921 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1922 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1925 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1926 themselves parameterizable types
1928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1929 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1930 called by the inlined immutable
1932 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1934 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1935 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1936 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1937 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1939 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1940 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1944 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

1952 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1955 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1956 ->body when looping through the
1957 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1959 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1960 eating the $@ values, and so not
1961 working correctly, it still kind of
1962 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1963 - added tests for this
1965 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1966 - added new recipe for immutable
1967 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1969 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1981 since Module::Install has done that.
1983 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1985 drink more coffee before
1986 doing release engineering
1988 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1989 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1990 modules. This fixes that.

1993 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1994 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2003 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2004 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2006 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2007 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2008 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2009 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2015 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2016 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

2020 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2022 - added test for this
2024 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2047 to allow introspection of traits
2048 - added tests for this
2049 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from

2103 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2105 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2106 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2107 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2149 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2150 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2396 - added tests for this
2399 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2400 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2442 - fixed how required methods are handled
2443 when they encounter overriden or modified
2444 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2445 - added tests for this
2447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2449 the | always creates a union and so is
2450 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2451 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2453 - added more tests for this
2455 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2458 * Parameterized Types
2459 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2460 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2461 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2462 They can also be nested:
2463 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2464 And work with the type unions as well:
2465 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2467 * Better Framework Extendability
2468 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2469 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2470 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2471 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2474 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2475 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2476 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2477 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2741 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2742 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2745 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2746 !! for this developer release to work !!
2748 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2749 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2750 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2751 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2752 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2753 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2754 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2755 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2756 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2757 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2758 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2760 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2761 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2762 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2763 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2766 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2768 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2769 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2770 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2772 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2774 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2775 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2778 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2779 called unless they actually need to be.
2780 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2781 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2782 DEMOLISH method present.
2784 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2786 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2787 type constraint, which allows for a
2788 hand optimized version of the type
2789 constraint to be used when possible.
2790 - Any internally created type constraints
2791 now provide an optimized version as well.
2793 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2795 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2796 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2797 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2799 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2800 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2801 your class namespace of these exported
2804 * Moose::Meta::Class
2805 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2806 comes up during global destruction
2808 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2812 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2816 - changed how we do type checks so that
2817 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2820 - moved accessor generation methods to
2821 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2822 conform to the API changes from
2825 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2826 - changed how constraints are compiled
2827 so that we do less recursion and more
2828 iteration. This makes the type check
2830 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2834 - created this from methods formerly found in
2835 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2837 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2838 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2841 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2843 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2844 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2846 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2849 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2850 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2851 - added tests for this
2852 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2853 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2854 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2855 - removed tests for this
2857 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2859 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2860 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2861 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2864 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2865 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2866 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2868 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2869 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2870 comments for more info.
2873 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2874 asked questions and common problems
2876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2877 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2878 - added tests for this
2880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2881 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2882 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2883 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2885 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2886 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2889 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2890 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2891 is much appreciated :)
2892 - added tests for this
2894 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2895 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2896 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2900 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2902 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2904 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2905 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2909 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2910 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2911 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2913 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2915 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2918 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2919 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2920 keywords because we need to localize them.
2921 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2923 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2924 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2925 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2928 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2931 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2932 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2933 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2936 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2937 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2938 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2940 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2942 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2943 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2944 bottom of your class file.
2947 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2950 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2952 - improved error message when loading modules so
2953 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2954 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2955 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2958 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2959 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2960 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2962 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2963 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2965 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2966 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2967 turn them on for you.
2968 - added tests for this
2969 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2970 in Moose::Meta::Class
2973 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2974 automatically turned on for you.

2997 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2998 - This release works in combination with
2999 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3000 release because it uses the a new
3001 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3002 complete Role implementation. It has
3003 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3004 the the previous CPAN version. This
3005 release also lacks good updated docs,
3006 the official release will have updated docs.
3009 - refactored the keyword exports
3010 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3011 accepts more than one Role at a time
3012 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3013 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3016 - refactored the keyword exports
3017 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3018 accepts more than one Role at a time
3020 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3021 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3022 string enumerations which can be used as
3024 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3027 - more careful checking of params to new()
3030 - much work done on the role composition
3031 - many new tests for conflict detection
3032 and composition edge cases
3033 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3034 looking at the tests
3036 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3037 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3038 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3040 * Moose::Meta::Class
3041 - some small changes to support the new
3043 - some small additions to support Roles
3045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3046 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3048 - some small changes to support the new
3050 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3051 with the 'handles' option
3052 - added several tests for this
3053 - no docs for this yet
3055 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3057 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3058 thanks to chansen for this commit
3059 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3060 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3061 on a per-attribute basis
3062 - added tests for this
3063 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3064 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3065 experimental feature and probably not finished
3066 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3067 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3068 - added tests for this

3130 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3132 - added test for this
3135 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
