1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
9 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
10 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
12 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
16 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
17 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
18 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
19 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
23 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
24 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
26 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
30 * Update conflicts list.
33 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
37 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
38 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
39 details. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
42 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
43 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
44 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
45 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
49 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
50 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
51 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
52 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
53 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
56 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
60 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
61 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
63 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
66 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
70 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
71 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
72 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
73 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
75 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
76 immutable classes). (mo)
78 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
79 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
80 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
82 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
86 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
88 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
90 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
94 * Fix some indexing issues.
96 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
98 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
102 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
103 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
104 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
105 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
106 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
108 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
109 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
114 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
115 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
116 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
117 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
119 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
120 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
121 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
125 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
126 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
129 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
133 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
134 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
138 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
142 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
143 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
144 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
145 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
148 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
152 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
155 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
159 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
160 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
161 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
164 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
168 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
169 policy. (Chris Prather)
171 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
172 on this new support policy. (doy)
176 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
177 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
178 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
180 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
181 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
183 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
187 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
188 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
189 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
190 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
193 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
197 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
198 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
201 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
205 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
206 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
208 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
209 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
213 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
214 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
215 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
216 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
217 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
218 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
220 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
221 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
223 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
224 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
225 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
226 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
228 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
229 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
231 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
236 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
237 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
239 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
243 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
244 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
245 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
247 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
251 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
252 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
253 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
255 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
256 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
259 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
260 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
263 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
264 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
265 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
267 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
268 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
273 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
274 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
275 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
276 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
278 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
279 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
281 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
282 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
284 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
285 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
286 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
287 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
289 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
290 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
291 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
294 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
295 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
296 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
297 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
299 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
300 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
303 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
304 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
305 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
307 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
311 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
312 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
313 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
315 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
316 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
317 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
320 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
321 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
322 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
324 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
325 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
326 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
328 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
329 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
333 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
334 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
335 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
337 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
338 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
339 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
340 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
342 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
346 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
347 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
348 value is a reference.
350 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
351 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
353 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
357 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
358 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
359 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
361 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
365 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
366 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
370 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
371 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
372 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
374 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
375 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
376 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
378 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
382 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
384 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
388 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
390 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
391 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
396 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
397 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
399 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
400 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
401 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
402 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
403 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
405 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
406 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
407 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
408 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
410 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
414 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
415 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
420 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
422 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
424 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
429 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
431 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
435 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
436 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
437 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
439 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
440 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
441 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
442 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
444 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
445 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
446 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
447 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
448 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
451 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
456 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
457 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
458 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
459 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
460 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
463 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
467 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
470 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
471 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
475 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
476 function (not just method). (doy)
480 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
481 and aren't easily installable/testable.
483 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
487 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
488 to be overridden more easily (doy).
490 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
494 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
495 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
497 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
501 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
502 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
503 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
505 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
509 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
510 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
511 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
513 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
514 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
518 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
519 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
521 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
522 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
526 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
527 is applied to a class (t0m).
529 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
530 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
532 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
535 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
536 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
538 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
539 be much more robust. (doy)
541 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
543 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
546 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
550 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
551 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
553 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
557 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
558 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
560 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
563 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
564 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
565 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
567 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
568 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
569 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
572 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
574 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
578 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
579 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
583 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
585 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
589 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
590 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
594 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
595 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
599 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
601 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
605 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
606 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
610 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
611 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
615 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
616 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
618 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
622 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
623 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
624 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
627 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
631 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
632 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
633 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
634 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
636 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
640 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
641 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
642 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
646 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
649 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
653 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
654 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
655 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
659 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
660 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
662 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
663 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
664 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
665 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
667 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
671 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
675 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
676 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
678 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
679 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
680 - Moose::Util::does_role
681 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
682 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
683 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
685 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
689 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
690 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
691 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
694 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
698 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
699 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
702 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
706 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
707 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
710 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
714 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
716 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
717 class. (Dave Rolsky).
719 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
720 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
721 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
723 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
724 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
725 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
728 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
729 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
731 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
732 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
733 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
735 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
737 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
738 substr et al, again. (sorear)
740 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
742 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
745 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
746 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
748 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
749 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
751 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
752 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
753 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
754 dependencies installed.
756 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
757 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
760 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
762 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
766 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
769 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
770 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
772 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
773 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
774 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
776 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
777 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
780 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
781 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
782 others. (nothingmuch)
784 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
785 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
786 remove_accessors. (doy)
788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
789 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
790 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
792 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
793 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
795 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
797 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
798 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
801 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
802 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
805 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
807 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
809 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
810 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
814 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
815 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
816 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
817 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
819 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
820 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
822 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
823 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
824 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
825 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
828 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
829 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
830 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
831 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
832 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
834 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
835 which were not receiving the value of
836 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
837 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
838 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
839 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
843 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
844 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
845 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
846 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
847 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
850 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
851 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
852 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
853 - added tests for this (Stevan)
856 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
857 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
858 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
861 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
862 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
863 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
866 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
867 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
870 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
871 class if you pass it options for
872 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
873 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
874 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
875 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
876 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
877 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
878 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
879 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
880 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
882 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
883 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
884 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
885 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
886 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
889 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
890 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
891 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
892 existing delegation API. (hdp)
894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
895 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
896 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
897 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
898 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
899 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
902 * Moose::Error::Croak
903 * Moose::Error::Confess
904 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
905 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
908 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
911 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
912 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
913 installing a broken sub. (doy)
916 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
919 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
920 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
921 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
923 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
924 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
925 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
926 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
927 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
929 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
930 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
933 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
935 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
936 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
939 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
940 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
943 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
944 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
945 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
947 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
948 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
949 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
950 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
951 using it for new code!
953 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
954 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
955 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
956 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
958 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
959 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
960 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
961 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
962 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
963 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
964 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
965 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
968 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
971 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
972 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
975 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
976 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
978 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
979 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
980 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
983 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
984 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
985 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
988 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
989 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
991 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
992 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
993 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
996 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
997 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
998 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
999 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1000 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1001 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1003 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1005 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1009 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1010 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1012 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1013 associated_methods. (hdp)
1014 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1015 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1016 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1017 misspelled) arguments
1019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1020 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1021 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1022 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1024 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1025 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1026 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1028 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1032 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1033 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1036 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1037 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1039 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1040 * Moose::Meta::Class
1041 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1042 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1044 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1045 * Moose::Manual::Types
1046 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1047 string parsing rathole (mst)
1049 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1050 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1051 using plain objects instead
1053 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1054 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1055 that's what we need.
1057 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1058 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1059 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1060 three times today (perigrin)
1061 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1062 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1064 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1065 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1066 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1067 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1070 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1071 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1072 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1073 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1074 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1075 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1078 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1079 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1080 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1081 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1084 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1086 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1089 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1091 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1094 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1095 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1096 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1100 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1101 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1104 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1105 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1107 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1108 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1109 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1111 * Moose::Unsweetened
1112 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1114 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1115 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1118 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1122 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1123 methods during global destruction (doy)
1125 * Moose::Meta::Class
1126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1127 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1128 consumption (Sartak)
1130 * Moose::Meta::Class
1131 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1132 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1135 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1136 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1139 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1140 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1142 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1144 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1148 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1149 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1150 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1153 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1154 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1155 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1158 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1160 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1161 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1162 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1165 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1166 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1167 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1168 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1170 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1171 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1172 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1175 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1178 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1179 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1180 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1184 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1185 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1187 * Moose::Meta::Class
1188 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1190 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1192 * Moose::Meta::Class
1193 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1194 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1197 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1198 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1201 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1202 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1205 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1208 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1211 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1214 * Moose::Meta::Class
1215 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1218 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1221 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1222 * More deprecations and renamings
1223 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1224 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1225 when an object is constructed)
1228 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1229 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1230 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1233 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1234 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1235 feature, and it works again.
1238 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1240 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1242 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1243 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1244 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1247 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1248 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1249 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1250 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1252 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1253 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1254 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1255 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1256 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1259 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1260 metaclass object. (hdp)
1262 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1263 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1264 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1265 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1266 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1267 point out this fact. (hdp)
1269 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1270 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1272 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1273 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1275 * Moose::Meta::Class
1276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1277 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1278 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1279 called during instance construction were passed the
1280 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1281 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1283 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1284 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1287 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1288 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1289 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1292 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1293 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1294 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1295 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1296 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1298 - Moose::Meta::Class
1299 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1301 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1302 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1303 when an object is constructed)
1304 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1306 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1307 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1308 when an object is constructed)
1309 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1310 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1311 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1314 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1316 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1317 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1319 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1321 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1322 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1323 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1325 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1326 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1327 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1329 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1331 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1332 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1334 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1335 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1338 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1339 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1342 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1343 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1344 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1347 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1351 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1352 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1353 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1355 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1356 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1359 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1360 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1361 with recommended workarounds.
1363 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1364 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1367 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1368 (yes, spelled like that).
1370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1371 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1373 * Moose::Meta::Class
1374 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1375 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1377 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1379 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1380 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1381 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1382 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1383 instead. Reported by doy.
1385 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1387 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1388 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1391 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1392 message) is now deprecated.
1393 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1394 often got it wrong. For example:
1396 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1398 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1402 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1403 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1404 bite you in weird cases.
1406 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1407 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1408 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1409 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1411 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1412 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1416 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1419 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1420 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1423 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1424 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1427 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1430 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1432 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1433 - added tests for this (stevan)
1435 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1436 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1437 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1438 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1442 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1443 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1444 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1445 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1447 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1448 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1449 - added tests for this (rafl)
1451 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1452 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1453 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1454 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1458 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1459 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1462 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1463 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1464 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1466 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1468 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1469 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1471 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1472 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1473 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1474 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1475 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1478 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1479 error message did not specify the attribute name
1482 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1484 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1486 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1487 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1488 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1491 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1494 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1496 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1497 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1498 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1499 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1501 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1503 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1504 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1505 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1506 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1508 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1509 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1510 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1512 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1513 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1514 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1515 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1516 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1518 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1519 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1520 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1521 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1522 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1525 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1526 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1527 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1528 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1529 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1531 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1532 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1533 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1534 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1535 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1536 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1538 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1539 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1541 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1542 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1543 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1544 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1547 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1550 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1554 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1555 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1557 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1558 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1559 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1560 guts. (nothingmuch).
1562 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1564 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1567 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1568 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1569 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1571 * Moose::Meta::Class
1572 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1575 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1576 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1578 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1579 * Moose::Unsweetened
1580 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1583 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1584 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1585 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1586 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1587 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1588 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1591 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1592 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1593 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1594 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1595 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1596 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1597 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1598 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1599 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1601 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1603 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1604 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1606 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1607 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1608 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1609 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1611 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1612 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1613 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1614 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1615 same methods for a single role did not work
1616 right (worked just fine with multiple
1618 - added test for this (stevan)
1620 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1621 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1622 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1625 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1626 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1627 - added test for this (t0m)
1630 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1631 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1632 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1635 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1636 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1637 - added test for this (t0m)
1639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1640 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1641 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1642 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1643 - added test for this (perigrin)
1646 - create method for constructing a role
1647 dynamically (Sartak)
1648 - added test for this (Sartak)
1649 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1650 - added test for this (Sartak)
1653 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1656 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1657 methods is useful (Sartak)
1659 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1661 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1664 * Moose::Meta::Class
1665 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1666 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1667 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1668 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1669 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1670 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1673 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1674 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1676 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1677 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1678 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1679 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1680 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1682 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1684 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1685 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1686 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1689 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1690 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1691 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1692 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1693 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1694 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1698 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1699 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1700 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1701 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1702 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1703 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1704 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1705 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1706 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1707 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1709 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1710 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1713 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1714 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1715 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1716 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1717 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1719 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1721 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1722 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1723 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1726 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1729 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1730 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1731 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1734 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1735 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1737 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1739 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1740 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1742 * Moose::Meta::Class
1743 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1744 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1745 a required attribute
1747 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1748 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1749 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1750 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1752 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1753 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1756 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1757 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1758 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1759 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1760 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1761 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1762 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1764 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1765 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1766 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1768 * Roles and role application
1769 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1770 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1771 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1772 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1773 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1775 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1776 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1780 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1781 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1782 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1783 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1786 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1787 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1788 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1789 changes in the Moose internals.
1791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1792 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1793 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1796 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1797 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1798 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1799 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1801 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1802 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1803 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1804 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1806 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1807 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1808 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1809 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1810 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1811 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1812 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1813 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1814 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1815 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1816 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1817 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1818 constraint implementations.
1820 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1824 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1825 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1826 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1827 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1828 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1829 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 - added tests for this (rafl)
1832 * Moose::Meta::Class
1833 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1834 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1835 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1836 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1837 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1838 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1839 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1840 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1843 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1844 - added tests for this (thepler)
1846 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1847 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1848 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1849 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1852 * Moose::Meta::Class
1853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1854 * Moose::Meta::Method
1857 * Moose::Error::Default
1858 * Moose::Error::Croak
1859 * Moose::Error::Confess
1860 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1861 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1862 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1863 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1864 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1865 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1867 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1869 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1870 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1872 * Moose::Unsweetened
1873 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1874 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1875 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1878 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1879 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1880 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1881 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1884 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1885 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1887 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1888 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1889 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1890 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1893 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1895 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1896 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1898 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1901 - Various bug fixes.
1903 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1904 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1906 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1908 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1909 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1910 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1911 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1912 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1913 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1915 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1916 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1917 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1919 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1920 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1921 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1924 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1925 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1926 dependency to 0.64_07.
1928 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1929 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1930 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1933 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1936 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1937 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1938 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1939 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1940 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1941 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1943 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1944 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1946 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1948 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1949 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1953 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1954 method when that method was provided by another role being
1955 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1956 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1958 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1960 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1961 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1963 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1964 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1965 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1966 - added test for this (t0m)
1968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1969 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1970 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1972 - added test for this (t0m)
1975 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1976 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1977 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1981 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1983 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1985 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1986 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1988 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1989 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1990 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1992 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1993 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1996 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1997 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1998 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1999 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2003 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2004 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2005 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2009 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2010 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2011 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2014 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2018 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2019 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2020 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2022 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2024 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2025 created so that the process can be more easily
2026 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2029 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2030 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2031 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2033 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2034 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2037 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2038 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2040 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2041 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2042 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2044 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2045 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2046 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2048 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2049 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)

2060 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2061 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2063 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2064 ... this is not my day today ...
2066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2067 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2068 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2069 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2070 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2073 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2074 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2075 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2076 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2077 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2080 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2082 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2083 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2084 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2085 this is not ever something you want to do
2086 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2087 - added tests for this (stevan)
2090 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2092 - added test for this

2112 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2115 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2116 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2117 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2118 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2119 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2120 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2121 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2122 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2123 - added tests for this
2125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2126 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2127 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2128 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2233 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2235 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2236 XS based functionality is now optional
2237 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2238 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2239 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2241 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2242 to take care of this, mostly we added

2313 ->body when looping through the
2314 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2316 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

2342 drink more coffee before
2343 doing release engineering
2345 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2460 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2462 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2753 - added tests for this
2756 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2757 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2799 - fixed how required methods are handled
2800 when they encounter overriden or modified
2801 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2802 - added tests for this
2804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2805 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2806 the | always creates a union and so is
2807 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2808 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2810 - added more tests for this
2812 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2815 * Parameterized Types
2816 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2817 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2818 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2819 They can also be nested:
2820 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2821 And work with the type unions as well:
2822 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2824 * Better Framework Extendability
2825 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2826 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2827 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2828 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2831 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2832 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2833 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2834 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2837 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2839 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2840 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2899 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2900 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2902 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2921 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2922 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2923 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2972 (but not changing the handles option)
2973 - added tests and docs for this
2976 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2977 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2991 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2992 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2993 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2994 prototypes for functions
2995 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2996 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3006 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3009 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3010 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3011 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3012 - added tests for this
3014 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3016 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3034 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3035 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3037 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3038 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3040 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3041 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3042 so this release is just to fix that.
3045 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3046 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3047 (thanks to konobi for this)
3048 - added tests and docs
3050 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3051 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3054 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3055 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3056 - added tests for this

3058 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3059 functions to facilitate introspection.
3061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3062 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3063 to build the list of delegated methods
3064 correctly (and not override important
3065 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3067 - added tests and docs for this
3068 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3069 so that you can actually document your
3070 attributes and inspect them through the
3072 - added tests and docs for this
3074 * Moose::Meta::Class
3075 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3076 it will first look in for the class in the
3077 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3078 then default to just loading $name.
3079 - added tests and docs for this
3081 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3082 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3083 - added test for this
3086 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3087 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3088 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3089 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3091 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3092 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3095 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3097 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3098 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3099 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3102 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3103 !! for this developer release to work !!
3105 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3106 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3107 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3108 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3109 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3110 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3111 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3112 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3113 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3114 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3115 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3117 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3118 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3119 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3120 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3123 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3124 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3125 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3126 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3127 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3129 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3131 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3132 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3135 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3136 called unless they actually need to be.
3137 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3138 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3139 DEMOLISH method present.
3141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3143 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3144 type constraint, which allows for a
3145 hand optimized version of the type
3146 constraint to be used when possible.
3147 - Any internally created type constraints
3148 now provide an optimized version as well.
3150 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3152 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3153 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3154 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3156 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3157 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3158 your class namespace of these exported
3161 * Moose::Meta::Class
3162 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3163 comes up during global destruction
3165 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3169 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3173 - changed how we do type checks so that
3174 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3177 - moved accessor generation methods to
3178 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3179 conform to the API changes from
3182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3183 - changed how constraints are compiled
3184 so that we do less recursion and more
3185 iteration. This makes the type check
3187 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3191 - created this from methods formerly found in
3192 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3194 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3195 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3198 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3201 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3203 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3206 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3207 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3208 - added tests for this
3209 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3210 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3211 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3212 - removed tests for this
3214 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3216 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3217 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3218 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3221 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3222 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3223 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3225 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3226 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3227 comments for more info.
3230 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3231 asked questions and common problems
3233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3234 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3235 - added tests for this
3237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3238 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3239 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3240 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3242 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3243 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3246 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3247 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3248 is much appreciated :)
3249 - added tests for this
3251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3252 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3253 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3256 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3257 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3259 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3261 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3262 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3266 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3267 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3268 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3270 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3272 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3275 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3276 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3277 keywords because we need to localize them.
3278 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3280 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3281 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3282 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3285 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3288 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3289 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3290 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3293 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3294 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3295 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3297 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3299 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3300 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3301 bottom of your class file.
3304 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3307 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3309 - improved error message when loading modules so
3310 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3311 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3312 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3315 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3316 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3317 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3319 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3320 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3322 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3323 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3324 turn them on for you.
3325 - added tests for this
3326 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3327 in Moose::Meta::Class
3330 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3331 automatically turned on for you.
3332 - added tests for this
3335 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3336 - added tests for this
3337 - added some more edge case tests
3339 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3340 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3342 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3346 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3350 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3353 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3354 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3355 - This release works in combination with
3356 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3357 release because it uses the a new
3358 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3359 complete Role implementation. It has
3360 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3361 the the previous CPAN version. This
3362 release also lacks good updated docs,
3363 the official release will have updated docs.
3366 - refactored the keyword exports
3367 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3368 accepts more than one Role at a time
3369 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3370 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3373 - refactored the keyword exports
3374 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3375 accepts more than one Role at a time
3377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3378 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3379 string enumerations which can be used as
3381 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3384 - more careful checking of params to new()
3387 - much work done on the role composition
3388 - many new tests for conflict detection
3389 and composition edge cases
3390 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3391 looking at the tests
3393 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3394 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3395 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3397 * Moose::Meta::Class
3398 - some small changes to support the new
3400 - some small additions to support Roles
3402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3403 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3405 - some small changes to support the new
3407 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3408 with the 'handles' option
3409 - added several tests for this
3410 - no docs for this yet
3412 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3414 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3415 thanks to chansen for this commit
3416 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3417 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3418 on a per-attribute basis
3419 - added tests for this
3420 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3421 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3422 experimental feature and probably not finished
3423 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3424 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3425 - added tests for this
3428 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3430 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
3431 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
3432 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
3434 - added some tests for this
3435 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3436 thanks to chansen for this commit
3438 * Moose::Meta::Class
3439 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3440 construct_instance (for the better)
3442 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3443 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3444 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
