1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
7 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
9 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
10 associated_methods. (hdp)
11 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
12 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
14 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
15 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
16 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
17 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
19 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
20 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
21 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
23 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
26 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
27 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
28 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
30 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
32 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
33 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
35 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
36 * Moose::Manual::Types
37 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
38 string parsing rathole (mst)
40 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
41 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
42 using plain objects instead
45 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
50 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
51 three times today (perigrin)
52 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
53 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
55 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
56 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
57 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
58 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
61 - A role's required methods are now represented by
62 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
63 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
64 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
65 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
66 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
69 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
70 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
71 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
72 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
75 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
77 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
80 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
82 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
85 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
86 during global destruction. This method has been made more
87 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
91 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
92 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
95 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
96 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
98 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
99 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
100 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
103 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
105 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
106 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
109 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
113 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
114 methods during global destruction (doy)
117 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
118 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
122 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
123 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
126 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
127 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
130 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
131 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
133 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
135 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
139 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
140 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
141 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
144 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
145 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
146 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
149 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
151 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
153 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
156 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
157 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
158 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
159 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
161 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
162 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
163 of the Moose core (Sartak)
166 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
169 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
170 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
171 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
175 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
176 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
179 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
181 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
184 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
185 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
188 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
189 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
192 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
193 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
196 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
199 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
202 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
206 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
209 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
212 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
213 * More deprecations and renamings
214 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
215 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
216 when an object is constructed)
219 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
220 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
221 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
224 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
225 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
226 feature, and it works again.
229 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
231 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
233 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
234 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
235 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
238 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
239 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
240 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
241 message. Test provided by perigrin.
243 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
244 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
245 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
246 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
247 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
250 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
251 metaclass object. (hdp)
253 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
254 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
255 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
256 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
257 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
258 point out this fact. (hdp)
260 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
261 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
263 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
264 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
268 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
269 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
270 called during instance construction were passed the
271 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
272 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
274 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
275 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
278 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
279 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
280 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
283 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
284 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
285 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
286 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
287 them, but they are not for "public" use.
290 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
292 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
293 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
294 when an object is constructed)
295 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
297 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
298 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
299 when an object is constructed)
300 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
301 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
302 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
305 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
307 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
308 * No changes from 0.72_01.
310 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
312 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
313 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
314 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
316 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
317 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
318 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
320 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
322 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
323 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
325 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
326 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
329 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
330 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
333 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
334 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
335 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
338 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
342 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
343 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
344 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
346 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
347 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
350 * Moose::Manual::Delta
351 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
352 with recommended workarounds.
354 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
355 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
358 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
359 (yes, spelled like that).
361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
362 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
365 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
366 changes in latest Class::MOP.
368 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
371 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
372 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
373 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
374 instead. Reported by doy.
376 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
378 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
379 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
381 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
382 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
383 message) is now deprecated.
384 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
385 often got it wrong. For example:
387 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
389 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
393 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
394 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
395 bite you in weird cases.
397 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
398 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
399 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
402 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
403 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
407 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
410 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
411 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
414 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
415 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
418 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
421 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
422 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
423 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
424 - added tests for this (stevan)
426 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
427 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
428 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
429 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
433 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
434 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
435 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
436 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
438 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
439 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
440 - added tests for this (rafl)
442 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
443 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
444 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
445 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
449 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
450 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
453 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
454 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
455 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
457 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
459 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
460 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
463 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
464 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
465 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
466 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
469 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
470 error message did not specify the attribute name
473 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
475 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
477 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
478 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
479 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
482 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
485 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
487 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
488 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
489 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
490 of fixes and formatting improvements.
492 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
494 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
495 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
496 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
497 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
500 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
501 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
504 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
505 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
506 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
507 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
509 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
510 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
511 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
512 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
513 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
516 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
517 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
518 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
519 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
520 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
522 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
523 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
524 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
525 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
526 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
527 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
529 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
530 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
532 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
533 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
534 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
535 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
537 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
538 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
541 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
545 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
546 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
548 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
549 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
550 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
553 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
555 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
558 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
559 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
560 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
563 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
566 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
567 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
569 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
571 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
574 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
575 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
576 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
577 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
578 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
579 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
582 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
583 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
584 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
585 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
586 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
587 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
588 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
589 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
590 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
592 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
594 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
595 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
598 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
599 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
600 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
602 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
603 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
604 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
605 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
606 same methods for a single role did not work
607 right (worked just fine with multiple
609 - added test for this (stevan)
611 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
612 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
613 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
616 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
617 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
618 - added test for this (t0m)
621 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
622 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
623 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
625 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
626 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
627 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
628 - added test for this (t0m)
630 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
631 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
632 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
633 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
634 - added test for this (perigrin)
637 - create method for constructing a role
639 - added test for this (Sartak)
640 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
641 - added test for this (Sartak)
644 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
646 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
647 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
648 methods is useful (Sartak)
650 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
651 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
652 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
656 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
657 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
658 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
659 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
660 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
661 - added tests for this (jdv79)
664 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
665 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
667 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
668 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
669 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
670 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
671 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
673 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
675 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
676 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
677 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
680 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
681 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
682 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
683 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
684 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
685 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
689 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
690 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
691 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
692 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
693 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
694 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
695 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
696 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
697 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
698 future. (jnapiorkowski)
700 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
701 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
704 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
705 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
706 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
707 type. (jnapiorkowski)
708 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
710 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
712 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
713 predicate, and link to more details sections in
714 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
716 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
717 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
719 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
720 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
721 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
722 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
725 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
726 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
728 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
730 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
731 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
734 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
735 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
738 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
739 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
740 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
741 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
743 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
744 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
746 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
747 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
748 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
749 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
750 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
751 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
752 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
753 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
755 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
756 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
757 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
759 * Roles and role application
760 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
761 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
762 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
763 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
764 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
766 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
767 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
770 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
771 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
772 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
773 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
774 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
777 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
778 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
779 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
780 changes in the Moose internals.
782 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
783 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
784 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
787 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
788 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
789 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
790 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
793 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
794 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
795 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
798 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
799 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
800 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
801 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
802 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
803 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
804 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
805 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
806 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
807 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
808 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
809 constraint implementations.
811 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
815 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
816 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
817 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
818 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
819 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
820 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
821 - added tests for this (rafl)
824 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
825 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
826 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
827 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
828 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
829 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
830 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
831 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
834 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
835 - added tests for this (thepler)
837 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
838 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
839 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
840 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
845 * Moose::Meta::Method
848 * Moose::Error::Default
849 * Moose::Error::Croak
850 * Moose::Error::Confess
851 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
852 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
853 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
854 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
855 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
856 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
858 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
860 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
861 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
864 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
865 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
866 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
869 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
870 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
871 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
872 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
875 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
876 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
878 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
879 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
880 several major changes in this release of Moose.
881 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
884 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
886 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
887 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
889 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
894 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
895 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

899 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
900 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
901 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
902 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
903 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
904 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
906 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
907 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
908 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
910 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
911 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
912 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
915 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
916 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
917 dependency to 0.64_07.
919 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
920 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
921 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
924 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
927 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
928 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
929 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
930 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
931 coincidental exception. (t0m).
932 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
934 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
935 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
937 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
939 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
940 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
944 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
945 method when that method was provided by another role being
946 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
947 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
949 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
951 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
952 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
955 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
956 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
957 - added test for this (t0m)
959 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
960 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
961 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
963 - added test for this (t0m)
966 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
967 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
968 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
971 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
972 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
974 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
976 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
979 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
980 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
981 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
983 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
984 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
987 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
988 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
989 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
990 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
994 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
995 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
996 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
999 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1000 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1001 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1002 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1005 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1009 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1010 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1011 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1013 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008

1024 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1025 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1028 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1029 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1031 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1032 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1033 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1051 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1052 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1054 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1055 ... this is not my day today ...
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1058 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1059 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1060 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1061 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1064 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1065 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1066 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1067 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1068 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1071 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1073 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1074 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1075 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1076 this is not ever something you want to do
1077 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1078 - added tests for this (stevan)
1081 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1083 - added test for this

1092 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1094 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1095 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1096 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1099 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1101 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1103 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1106 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1107 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1108 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1109 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1110 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1111 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1112 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1113 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1114 - added tests for this
1116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1117 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1118 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1119 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1121 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1137 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1138 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1140 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1142 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1152 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1154 - added docs for this (TODO).
1155 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1156 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1157 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1184 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1186 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1187 (early morning release engineering)--
1189 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1190 which was causing the indexer to choke
1192 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1193 (late night release engineering)--
1195 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1196 changes in this release
1198 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1199 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1200 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1202 * Moose::Meta::Class
1203 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1204 since it is called so often by &meta
1206 * Moose::Meta::Class
1208 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1209 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1212 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1213 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1214 method for immutablization to check if the
1215 destructor object even needs to be created
1218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1219 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1220 - added more descriptive error message to help
1221 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1222 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1224 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1226 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1227 XS based functionality is now optional
1228 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1229 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1230 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1232 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1233 to take care of this, mostly we added
1234 support for the package_name and name
1235 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1236 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1237 support regexp matching of names
1238 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1239 - tests added for this
1240 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1241 is currently not supported in roles,
1242 but, ... patches welcome
1243 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1244 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1245 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1248 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1249 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1250 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1251 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1252 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1253 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1254 - added test for this
1256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1257 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1258 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1261 * Moose::Meta::Class
1262 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1266 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1268 - added tests for this
1269 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1270 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1272 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1273 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1274 themselves parameterizable types
1276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1277 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1278 called by the inlined immutable
1280 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1282 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1283 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1284 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1285 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1287 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1288 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1292 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1293 causing occasional cpantester failures
1294 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1295 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1297 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1299 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1300 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1303 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1304 ->body when looping through the
1305 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1307 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1308 eating the $@ values, and so not
1309 working correctly, it still kind of
1310 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1311 - added tests for this
1313 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1314 - added new recipe for immutable
1315 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1317 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1318 - added new recipe for builder and

1321 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1322 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1323 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1326 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1328 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1329 since Module::Install has done that.
1331 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1333 drink more coffee before
1334 doing release engineering
1336 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1337 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1338 modules. This fixes that.
1340 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1341 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1342 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1344 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1345 since we have tests which need the C3
1348 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1349 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1351 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1352 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1354 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1355 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1356 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1357 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1363 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1364 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

1368 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1370 - added test for this
1372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1373 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1374 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1375 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
1376 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
1377 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

1388 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
1389 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
1390 - added tests for this (Sartak)
1391 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
1392 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
1394 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
1395 to allow introspection of traits
1396 - added tests for this
1397 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from
1399 - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has
1400 '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch)
1401 - added tests for this (t0m)
1404 - localize $@ inside DEMOLISHALL to avoid it
1405 eating $@ (found by Ernesto)
1406 - added test for this (thanks to Ernesto)
1408 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1451 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1453 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1454 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1497 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1498 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1744 - added tests for this
1747 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1748 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1791 when they encounter overriden or modified
1792 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1793 - added tests for this
1795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1803 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1806 * Parameterized Types
1807 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1808 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1809 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1810 They can also be nested:
1811 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1812 And work with the type unions as well:
1813 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1815 * Better Framework Extendability
1816 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1817 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1818 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1819 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1822 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1823 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1824 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1825 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2079 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2080 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2082 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2083 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2086 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2088 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2089 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2090 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2093 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2094 !! for this developer release to work !!
2096 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2097 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2098 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2099 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2100 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2101 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2102 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2103 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2104 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2105 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2106 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2108 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2109 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2110 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2111 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2114 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2116 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2117 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2118 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2120 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2122 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2123 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2126 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2127 called unless they actually need to be.
2128 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2129 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2130 DEMOLISH method present.
2132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2133 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2134 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2135 type constraint, which allows for a
2136 hand optimized version of the type
2137 constraint to be used when possible.
2138 - Any internally created type constraints
2139 now provide an optimized version as well.
2141 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2143 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2144 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2145 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2147 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2148 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2149 your class namespace of these exported
2152 * Moose::Meta::Class
2153 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2154 comes up during global destruction
2156 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2160 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2164 - changed how we do type checks so that
2165 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2168 - moved accessor generation methods to
2169 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2170 conform to the API changes from
2173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2174 - changed how constraints are compiled
2175 so that we do less recursion and more
2176 iteration. This makes the type check
2178 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2182 - created this from methods formerly found in
2183 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2185 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2186 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2188 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2189 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2191 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2192 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2194 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2197 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2198 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2199 - added tests for this
2200 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2201 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2202 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2203 - removed tests for this
2205 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2207 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2208 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2209 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2212 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2213 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2214 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2216 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2217 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2218 comments for more info.
2221 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2222 asked questions and common problems
2224 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2225 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2226 - added tests for this
2228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2229 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2230 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2231 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2233 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2234 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2237 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2238 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2239 is much appreciated :)
2240 - added tests for this
2242 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2243 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2244 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2248 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2250 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2252 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2253 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2257 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2258 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2259 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2261 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2263 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2266 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2267 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2268 keywords because we need to localize them.
2269 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2271 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2272 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2273 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2276 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2279 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2280 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2281 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2284 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2285 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2286 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2288 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2290 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2291 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2292 bottom of your class file.
2295 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2298 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2300 - improved error message when loading modules so
2301 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2302 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2303 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2306 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2307 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2308 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2310 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2311 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2313 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2314 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2315 turn them on for you.
2316 - added tests for this
2317 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2318 in Moose::Meta::Class
2321 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2322 automatically turned on for you.

2341 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2344 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2345 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2346 - This release works in combination with
2347 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2348 release because it uses the a new
2349 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2350 complete Role implementation. It has
2351 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2352 the the previous CPAN version. This
2353 release also lacks good updated docs,
2354 the official release will have updated docs.
2357 - refactored the keyword exports
2358 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2359 accepts more than one Role at a time
2360 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2361 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2364 - refactored the keyword exports
2365 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2366 accepts more than one Role at a time
2368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2369 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2370 string enumerations which can be used as
2372 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2375 - more careful checking of params to new()
2378 - much work done on the role composition
2379 - many new tests for conflict detection
2380 and composition edge cases
2381 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2382 looking at the tests
2384 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2385 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2386 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2388 * Moose::Meta::Class
2389 - some small changes to support the new
2391 - some small additions to support Roles
2393 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2394 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2396 - some small changes to support the new
2398 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2399 with the 'handles' option
2400 - added several tests for this
2401 - no docs for this yet
2403 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2405 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2406 thanks to chansen for this commit
2407 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2408 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2409 on a per-attribute basis
2410 - added tests for this
2411 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2412 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2413 experimental feature and probably not finished

2415 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2416 - added tests for this

2431 construct_instance (for the better)
2433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2478 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2480 - added test for this
2483 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
