1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
7 constraint has a coercion defined. If it doesn't, an error will be thrown
8 when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
13 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
14 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
15 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
16 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
21 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
24 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
25 constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
29 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined function
30 (not just method) (doy).
34 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
35 and aren't easily installable/testable.
37 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
41 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
42 to be overridden more easily (doy).
44 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
48 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
49 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
51 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
55 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
56 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
57 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
59 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
63 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
64 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
65 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
67 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
68 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
72 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
73 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
75 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
76 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
80 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
81 is applied to a class (t0m).
83 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
84 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
86 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
89 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
90 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
92 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
93 be much more robust. (doy)
95 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
97 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
100 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
104 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
105 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
107 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
111 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
112 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
114 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
117 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
118 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
119 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
121 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
122 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
123 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
126 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
128 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
132 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
133 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
137 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
139 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
144 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
148 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
149 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
153 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
155 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
159 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
160 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
164 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
165 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
169 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
170 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
172 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
176 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
177 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
178 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
181 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
185 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
186 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
187 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
188 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
190 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
194 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
195 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
196 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
200 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
203 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
207 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
208 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
209 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
213 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
214 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
216 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
217 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
218 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
219 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
221 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
225 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
229 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
230 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
232 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
233 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
234 - Moose::Util::does_role
235 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
236 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
237 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
239 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
243 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
244 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
245 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
248 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
252 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
253 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
256 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
260 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
261 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
264 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
268 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
270 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
271 class. (Dave Rolsky).
273 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
274 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
275 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
277 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
278 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
279 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
282 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
283 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
285 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
286 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
287 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
289 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
291 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
292 substr et al, again. (sorear)
294 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
296 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
299 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
300 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
302 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
303 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
305 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
306 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
307 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
308 dependencies installed.
310 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
311 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
314 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
316 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
320 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
323 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
324 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
326 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
327 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
328 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
330 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
331 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
334 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
335 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
336 others. (nothingmuch)
338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
339 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
340 remove_accessors. (doy)
342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
343 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
344 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
347 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
349 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
351 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
352 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
355 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
356 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
358 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
359 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
361 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
363 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
364 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
368 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
369 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
370 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
371 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
373 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
375 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
376 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
377 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
378 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
379 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
382 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
383 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
384 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
385 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
386 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
388 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
389 which were not receiving the value of
390 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
391 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
392 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
393 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
397 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
398 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
399 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
400 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
401 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
404 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
405 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
406 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
407 - added tests for this (Stevan)
410 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
411 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
412 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
415 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
416 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
417 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
420 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
421 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
424 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
425 class if you pass it options for
426 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
427 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
428 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
429 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
430 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
431 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
432 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
433 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
434 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
436 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
437 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
438 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
439 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
440 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
443 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
444 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
445 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
446 existing delegation API. (hdp)
448 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
449 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
450 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
451 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
452 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
453 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
456 * Moose::Error::Croak
457 * Moose::Error::Confess
458 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
459 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
462 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
465 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
466 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
467 installing a broken sub. (doy)
470 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
473 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
474 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
475 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
477 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
478 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
479 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
480 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
481 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
484 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
487 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
489 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
490 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
493 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
494 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
497 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
498 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
499 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
502 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
503 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
504 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
505 using it for new code!
507 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
508 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
509 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
510 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
512 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
513 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
514 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
515 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
516 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
517 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
518 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
519 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
522 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
525 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
526 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
530 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
532 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
533 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
534 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
538 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
539 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
542 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
543 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
545 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
546 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
547 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
550 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
551 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
552 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
553 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
554 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
555 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
557 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
559 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
563 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
564 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
566 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
567 associated_methods. (hdp)
568 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
569 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
570 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
571 misspelled) arguments
573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
574 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
575 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
576 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
579 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
580 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
582 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
586 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
587 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
590 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
591 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
593 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
595 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
596 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
598 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
599 * Moose::Manual::Types
600 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
601 string parsing rathole (mst)
603 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
604 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
605 using plain objects instead
607 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
608 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
611 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
613 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
614 three times today (perigrin)
615 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
616 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
619 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
620 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
621 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
624 - A role's required methods are now represented by
625 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
626 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
627 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
628 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
629 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
632 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
633 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
634 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
635 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
638 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
640 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
643 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
645 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
648 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
649 during global destruction. This method has been made more
650 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
654 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
655 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
658 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
659 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
661 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
662 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
663 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
666 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
668 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
669 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
672 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
676 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
677 methods during global destruction (doy)
680 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
681 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
685 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
686 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
689 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
690 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
693 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
694 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
696 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
698 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
702 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
703 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
704 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
707 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
708 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
709 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
712 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
714 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
715 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
716 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
719 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
720 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
721 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
722 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
724 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
725 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
726 of the Moose core (Sartak)
729 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
732 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
733 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
734 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
738 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
739 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
742 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
744 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
747 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
748 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
751 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
752 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
755 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
756 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
759 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
762 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
764 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
765 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
769 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
771 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
772 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
775 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
776 * More deprecations and renamings
777 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
778 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
779 when an object is constructed)
782 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
783 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
784 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
786 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
787 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
788 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
789 feature, and it works again.
792 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
794 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
796 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
797 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
798 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
800 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
801 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
802 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
803 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
804 message. Test provided by perigrin.
806 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
807 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
808 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
809 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
810 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
813 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
814 metaclass object. (hdp)
816 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
817 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
818 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
819 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
820 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
821 point out this fact. (hdp)
823 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
824 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
826 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
827 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
830 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
831 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
832 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
833 called during instance construction were passed the
834 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
835 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
837 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
838 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
841 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
842 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
843 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
846 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
847 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
848 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
849 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
850 them, but they are not for "public" use.
853 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
855 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
856 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
857 when an object is constructed)
858 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
860 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
861 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
862 when an object is constructed)
863 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
864 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
865 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
868 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
870 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
871 * No changes from 0.72_01.
873 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
875 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
876 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
877 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
880 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
881 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
883 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
885 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
886 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
888 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
889 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
892 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
893 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
896 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
897 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
898 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
900 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
901 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
905 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
906 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
907 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
909 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
910 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
913 * Moose::Manual::Delta
914 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
915 with recommended workarounds.
917 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
918 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
920 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
921 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
922 (yes, spelled like that).
924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
925 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
928 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
929 changes in latest Class::MOP.
931 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
933 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
934 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
935 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
936 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
937 instead. Reported by doy.
939 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
941 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
942 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
945 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
946 message) is now deprecated.
947 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
948 often got it wrong. For example:
950 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
952 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
956 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
957 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
958 bite you in weird cases.
960 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
961 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
962 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
965 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
966 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
970 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
973 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
974 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
977 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
978 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
981 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
984 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
985 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
986 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
987 - added tests for this (stevan)
989 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
990 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
991 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
992 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
996 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
997 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
998 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
999 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1001 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1002 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1003 - added tests for this (rafl)
1005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1006 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1007 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1008 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1012 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1013 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1016 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1017 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1018 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1022 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1023 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1025 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1026 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1027 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1028 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1029 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1032 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1033 error message did not specify the attribute name
1036 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1038 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1040 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1041 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1042 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1044 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1045 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1048 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1050 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1051 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1052 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1053 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1055 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1057 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1058 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1059 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1060 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1063 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1064 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1066 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1067 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1068 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1069 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1070 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1073 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1074 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1075 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1076 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1078 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1079 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1080 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1081 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1082 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1083 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1085 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1086 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1087 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1088 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1089 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1090 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1093 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1095 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1096 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1097 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1098 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1100 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1101 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1104 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1108 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1109 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1111 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1112 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1113 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1114 guts. (nothingmuch).
1116 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1118 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1121 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1122 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1123 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1125 * Moose::Meta::Class
1126 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1129 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1130 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1132 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1133 * Moose::Unsweetened
1134 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1137 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1138 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1139 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1140 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1141 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1142 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1144 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1145 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1146 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1147 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1148 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1149 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1150 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1152 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1153 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1155 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1157 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1158 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1160 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1161 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1162 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1163 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1165 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1166 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1167 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1168 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1169 same methods for a single role did not work
1170 right (worked just fine with multiple
1172 - added test for this (stevan)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1175 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1176 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1179 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1180 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1181 - added test for this (t0m)
1184 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1185 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1186 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1189 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1190 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1191 - added test for this (t0m)
1193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1194 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1195 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1196 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1197 - added test for this (perigrin)
1200 - create method for constructing a role
1201 dynamically (Sartak)
1202 - added test for this (Sartak)
1203 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1204 - added test for this (Sartak)
1207 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1209 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1210 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1211 methods is useful (Sartak)
1213 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1214 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1215 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1218 * Moose::Meta::Class
1219 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1220 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1221 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1222 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1223 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1227 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1228 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1230 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1232 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1233 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1234 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1236 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1238 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1239 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1240 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1243 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1244 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1245 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1246 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1247 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1248 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1252 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1253 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1254 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1255 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1256 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1257 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1258 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1259 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1260 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1261 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1263 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1264 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1268 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1269 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1270 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1271 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1273 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1275 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1276 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1277 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1280 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1283 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1284 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1285 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1288 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1289 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1291 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1293 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1294 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1296 * Moose::Meta::Class
1297 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1298 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1299 a required attribute
1301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1302 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1303 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1304 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1307 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1309 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1310 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1311 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1312 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1313 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1314 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1315 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1316 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1318 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1319 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1320 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1322 * Roles and role application
1323 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1324 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1325 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1326 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1327 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1329 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1330 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1333 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1334 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1335 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1336 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1337 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1340 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1341 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1342 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1343 changes in the Moose internals.
1345 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1347 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1350 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1351 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1352 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1353 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1356 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1357 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1358 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1361 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1362 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1363 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1364 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1365 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1366 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1367 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1368 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1369 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1370 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1371 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1372 constraint implementations.
1374 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1378 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1379 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1380 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1381 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1382 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1383 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1384 - added tests for this (rafl)
1386 * Moose::Meta::Class
1387 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1388 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1389 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1390 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1391 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1392 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1393 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1394 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1397 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1398 - added tests for this (thepler)
1400 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1401 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1402 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1403 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1406 * Moose::Meta::Class
1407 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1408 * Moose::Meta::Method
1411 * Moose::Error::Default
1412 * Moose::Error::Croak
1413 * Moose::Error::Confess
1414 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1415 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1416 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1417 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1418 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1419 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1421 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1423 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1424 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1426 * Moose::Unsweetened
1427 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1428 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1429 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1432 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1433 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1434 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1435 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1438 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1439 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1441 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1442 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1443 several major changes in this release of Moose.

1486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1487 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1490 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1491 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1492 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1493 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1494 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1495 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1497 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1498 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1500 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1502 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1503 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1507 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required

1510 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1512 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1520 - added test for this (t0m)
1522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1523 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1524 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1526 - added test for this (t0m)
1529 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1530 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1531 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1534 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1535 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1537 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1539 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1540 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1542 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1543 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1544 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1546 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1547 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1550 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1553 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1557 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1558 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1559 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1568 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1572 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1578 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1579 created so that the process can be more easily

1614 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1615 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1617 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1618 ... this is not my day today ...
1620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1621 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1622 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1623 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1624 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1627 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1628 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1629 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1630 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1631 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1634 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1636 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1637 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1638 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1639 this is not ever something you want to do
1640 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1641 - added tests for this (stevan)
1644 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1646 - added test for this

1659 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1662 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1664 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1666 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1669 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1670 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1671 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1672 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1673 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1674 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1675 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1676 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1677 - added tests for this
1679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1680 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1681 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1682 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1753 which was causing the indexer to choke
1755 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1756 (late night release engineering)--
1758 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional

1775 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1776 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1777 method for immutablization to check if the
1778 destructor object even needs to be created
1781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1782 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1783 - added more descriptive error message to help
1784 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1785 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1787 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1789 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1790 XS based functionality is now optional
1791 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1792 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1793 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1795 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1796 to take care of this, mostly we added
1797 support for the package_name and name

1800 support regexp matching of names
1801 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1803 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1804 is currently not supported in roles,
1805 but, ... patches welcome

1812 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1813 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1814 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1815 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1816 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1817 - added test for this
1819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1820 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1821 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1824 * Moose::Meta::Class

1829 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1831 - added tests for this

1841 called by the inlined immutable
1843 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1845 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1846 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1847 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1848 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

1866 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1867 ->body when looping through the
1868 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1870 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1871 eating the $@ values, and so not
1872 working correctly, it still kind of
1873 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1874 - added tests for this
1876 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1877 - added new recipe for immutable
1878 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1880 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1896 drink more coffee before
1897 doing release engineering
1899 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2014 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2016 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2017 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2018 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2021 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2043 - added tests for this
2045 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2046 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a

2056 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2059 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2060 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2061 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2062 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2064 - added more delegation tests
2065 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2066 support traits and their introspection.
2067 - added tests for this

2221 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2223 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2224 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

2307 - added tests for this
2310 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2311 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2350 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2353 - fixed how required methods are handled
2354 when they encounter overriden or modified
2355 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2356 - added tests for this
2358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2359 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2360 the | always creates a union and so is
2361 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2362 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2364 - added more tests for this
2366 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2369 * Parameterized Types
2370 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2371 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2372 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2373 They can also be nested:
2374 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2375 And work with the type unions as well:
2376 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2378 * Better Framework Extendability
2379 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2380 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2381 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2382 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2385 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2386 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2387 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2388 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2391 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2393 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2394 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2454 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2456 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2622 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2623 so that you can actually document your
2624 attributes and inspect them through the

2628 * Moose::Meta::Class
2629 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2630 it will first look in for the class in the
2631 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2632 then default to just loading $name.
2633 - added tests and docs for this
2635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2636 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2637 - added test for this
2640 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2642 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2643 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2645 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2646 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2649 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2651 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2652 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2653 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2656 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2657 !! for this developer release to work !!
2659 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2660 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2661 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2662 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2663 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2664 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2665 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2666 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2667 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2668 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2669 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2671 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2672 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2673 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2674 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2677 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2678 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2679 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2680 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2681 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2683 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2685 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2686 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2689 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2690 called unless they actually need to be.
2691 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2692 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2693 DEMOLISH method present.
2695 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2696 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2697 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2698 type constraint, which allows for a
2699 hand optimized version of the type
2700 constraint to be used when possible.
2701 - Any internally created type constraints
2702 now provide an optimized version as well.
2704 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2706 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2707 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2708 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2711 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2712 your class namespace of these exported
2715 * Moose::Meta::Class
2716 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2717 comes up during global destruction
2719 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2723 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2727 - changed how we do type checks so that
2728 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2731 - moved accessor generation methods to
2732 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2733 conform to the API changes from
2736 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2737 - changed how constraints are compiled
2738 so that we do less recursion and more
2739 iteration. This makes the type check
2741 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2744 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2745 - created this from methods formerly found in
2746 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2748 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2749 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2752 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2755 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2757 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2759 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2760 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2761 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2762 - added tests for this
2763 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2764 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2765 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2766 - removed tests for this
2768 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2770 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2771 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2772 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2775 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2776 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2777 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2779 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2780 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2781 comments for more info.
2784 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2785 asked questions and common problems
2787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2788 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2789 - added tests for this
2791 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2792 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2793 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2794 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2796 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2797 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2800 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2801 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2802 is much appreciated :)
2803 - added tests for this
2805 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2806 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2807 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2810 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2811 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2813 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2815 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2816 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2820 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2821 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2822 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2824 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2826 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2829 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2830 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2831 keywords because we need to localize them.
2832 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2834 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2835 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2836 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2839 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2842 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2843 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2844 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2847 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2848 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2849 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2851 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2853 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2854 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2855 bottom of your class file.
2858 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2861 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2863 - improved error message when loading modules so
2864 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2865 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2866 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2869 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2870 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2871 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2873 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2874 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2876 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2877 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2878 turn them on for you.
2879 - added tests for this
2880 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2881 in Moose::Meta::Class
2884 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2885 automatically turned on for you.

2907 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2908 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2909 - This release works in combination with
2910 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2911 release because it uses the a new
2912 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2913 complete Role implementation. It has
2914 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2915 the the previous CPAN version. This
2916 release also lacks good updated docs,
2917 the official release will have updated docs.
2920 - refactored the keyword exports
2921 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2922 accepts more than one Role at a time
2923 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2924 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2927 - refactored the keyword exports
2928 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2929 accepts more than one Role at a time
2931 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2932 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2933 string enumerations which can be used as
2935 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2938 - more careful checking of params to new()
2941 - much work done on the role composition
2942 - many new tests for conflict detection
2943 and composition edge cases
2944 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2945 looking at the tests
2947 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2948 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2949 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2951 * Moose::Meta::Class

2954 - some small additions to support Roles
2956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2957 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2959 - some small changes to support the new
2961 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2962 with the 'handles' option
2963 - added several tests for this
2964 - no docs for this yet
2966 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2968 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2969 thanks to chansen for this commit
2970 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2971 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2972 on a per-attribute basis
2973 - added tests for this
2974 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2975 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2976 experimental feature and probably not finished
2977 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2978 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2979 - added tests for this

3041 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3043 - added test for this
