1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
7 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
8 three times today (perigrin)
9 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
10 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
12 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
14 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
15 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
16 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
19 - A role's required methods are now represented by
20 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
21 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
22 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
23 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
24 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
27 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
28 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
29 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
30 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
33 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
35 - Add test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
38 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
40 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
43 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
44 during global destruction. This method has been made more
45 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
49 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
50 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
53 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
54 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
56 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
57 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
58 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
61 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
63 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
64 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
67 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
71 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
72 methods during global destruction (doy)
75 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
76 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
80 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
81 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
84 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
85 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
88 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
89 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
93 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
97 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
98 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
99 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
102 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
103 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
104 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
107 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
108 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
111 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
112 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
113 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
117 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
118 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
119 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
121 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
122 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
123 of the Moose core (Sartak)
126 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
129 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
130 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
131 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
135 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
136 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
139 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
141 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
144 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
145 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
148 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
149 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
152 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
153 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
156 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
159 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
161 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
162 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
166 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
168 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
169 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
172 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
173 * More deprecations and renamings
174 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
175 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
176 when an object is constructed)
179 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
180 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
181 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
183 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
184 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
185 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
186 feature, and it works again.
189 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
191 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
193 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
194 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
195 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
198 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
199 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
200 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
201 message. Test provided by perigrin.
203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
204 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
205 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
206 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
207 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
210 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
211 metaclass object. (hdp)
213 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
214 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
215 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
216 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
217 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
218 point out this fact. (hdp)
220 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
221 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
223 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
224 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
228 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
229 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
230 called during instance construction were passed the
231 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
232 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
234 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
235 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
238 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
239 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
240 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
243 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
244 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
245 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
246 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
247 them, but they are not for "public" use.
250 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
252 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
253 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
254 when an object is constructed)
255 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
257 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
258 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
259 when an object is constructed)
260 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
261 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
262 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
265 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
267 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
268 * No changes from 0.72_01.
270 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
272 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
273 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
274 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
277 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
278 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
280 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
282 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
283 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
285 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
286 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
289 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
290 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
293 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
294 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
295 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
298 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
302 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
303 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
304 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
307 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
310 * Moose::Manual::Delta
311 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
312 with recommended workarounds.
314 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
315 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
318 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
319 (yes, spelled like that).
321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
322 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
325 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
326 changes in latest Class::MOP.
328 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
331 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
332 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
333 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
334 instead. Reported by doy.
336 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
338 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
339 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
341 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
342 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
343 message) is now deprecated.
344 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
345 often got it wrong. For example:
347 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
349 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
353 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
354 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
355 bite you in weird cases.
357 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
358 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
359 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
362 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
363 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
367 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
370 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
371 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
374 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
375 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
378 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
381 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
383 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
384 - added tests for this (stevan)
386 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
387 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
388 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
389 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
393 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
394 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
395 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
396 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
398 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
399 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
400 - added tests for this (rafl)
402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
403 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
404 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
405 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
409 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
410 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
413 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
414 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
415 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
417 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
419 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
420 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
423 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
424 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
425 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
426 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
429 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
430 error message did not specify the attribute name
433 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
435 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
437 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
438 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
439 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
442 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
445 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
447 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
448 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
449 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
450 of fixes and formatting improvements.
452 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
454 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
455 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
456 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
457 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
460 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
461 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
464 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
465 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
466 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
467 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
469 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
470 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
471 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
472 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
473 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
476 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
477 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
478 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
479 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
480 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
482 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
483 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
484 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
485 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
486 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
487 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
489 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
490 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
492 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
493 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
494 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
495 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
497 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
498 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
501 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
505 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
506 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
508 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
509 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
510 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
513 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
514 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
515 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
517 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
518 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
519 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
520 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
523 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
526 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
527 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
529 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
531 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
534 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
535 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
536 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
537 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
538 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
539 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
542 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
543 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
544 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
545 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
546 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
547 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
548 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
549 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
550 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
552 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
554 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
555 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
557 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
558 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
559 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
560 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
562 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
563 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
564 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
565 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
566 same methods for a single role did not work
567 right (worked just fine with multiple
569 - added test for this (stevan)
571 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
572 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
573 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
576 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
577 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
578 - added test for this (t0m)
581 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
582 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
583 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
586 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
587 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
588 - added test for this (t0m)
590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
591 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
592 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
593 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
594 - added test for this (perigrin)
597 - create method for constructing a role
599 - added test for this (Sartak)
600 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
601 - added test for this (Sartak)
604 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
606 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
607 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
608 methods is useful (Sartak)
610 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
612 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
616 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
617 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
618 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
619 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
620 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
621 - added tests for this (jdv79)
624 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
625 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
627 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
628 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
629 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
630 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
631 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
633 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
635 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
636 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
637 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
640 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
641 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
642 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
643 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
644 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
645 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
649 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
650 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
651 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
652 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
653 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
654 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
655 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
656 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
657 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
658 future. (jnapiorkowski)
660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
661 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
664 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
665 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
666 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
667 type. (jnapiorkowski)
668 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
670 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
672 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
673 predicate, and link to more details sections in
674 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
676 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
677 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
679 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
680 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
681 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
682 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
685 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
686 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
688 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
690 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
691 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
694 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
695 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
698 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
699 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
700 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
701 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
703 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
704 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
706 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
707 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
708 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
709 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
710 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
711 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
712 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
713 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
715 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
716 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
717 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
719 * Roles and role application
720 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
721 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
722 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
723 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
724 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
726 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
727 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
730 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
731 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
732 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
733 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
734 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
737 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
738 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
739 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
740 changes in the Moose internals.
742 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
743 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
744 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
747 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
748 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
749 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
750 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
752 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
753 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
754 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
755 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
758 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
759 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
760 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
761 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
762 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
763 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
764 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
765 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
766 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
767 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
768 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
769 constraint implementations.
771 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
775 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
776 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
777 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
778 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
779 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
780 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
781 - added tests for this (rafl)
784 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
785 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
786 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
787 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
788 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
789 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
790 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
791 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
794 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
795 - added tests for this (thepler)
797 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
798 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
799 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
800 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
805 * Moose::Meta::Method
808 * Moose::Error::Default
809 * Moose::Error::Croak
810 * Moose::Error::Confess
811 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
812 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
813 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
814 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
815 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
816 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
818 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
820 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
821 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
824 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
825 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
826 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
829 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
830 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
831 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
832 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
835 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
836 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
838 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
839 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
840 several major changes in this release of Moose.
841 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
844 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
846 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
847 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
849 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
854 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed

860 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
861 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
862 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
863 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
864 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
866 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
867 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
868 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

877 dependency to 0.64_07.
879 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
880 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
881 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
884 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
887 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
888 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
889 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
890 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
891 coincidental exception. (t0m).
892 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
894 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
895 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
897 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
899 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
900 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
904 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
905 method when that method was provided by another role being
906 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
907 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
909 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
911 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
912 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!

916 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
917 - added test for this (t0m)
919 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

921 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
923 - added test for this (t0m)
926 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
927 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
928 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
931 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
932 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
934 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
936 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
939 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
940 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
941 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
943 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
944 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
947 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
948 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
949 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
950 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
954 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
955 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
956 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
959 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
960 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
961 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
962 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
965 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
969 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

992 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
993 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1012 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1014 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1015 ... this is not my day today ...
1017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1018 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1019 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1020 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1021 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1024 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1025 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1026 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1027 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1028 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1031 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1033 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1034 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1036 this is not ever something you want to do
1037 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1038 - added tests for this (stevan)
1041 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1043 - added test for this

1063 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1066 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1067 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1068 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1069 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1070 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1071 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1072 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1073 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1074 - added tests for this
1076 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1077 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1078 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1079 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1150 which was causing the indexer to choke
1152 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1153 (late night release engineering)--
1155 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1156 changes in this release

1174 method for immutablization to check if the
1175 destructor object even needs to be created
1178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1179 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1180 - added more descriptive error message to help
1181 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1182 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1184 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1186 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1187 XS based functionality is now optional
1188 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1189 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1190 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1192 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1193 to take care of this, mostly we added
1194 support for the package_name and name
1195 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1196 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1197 support regexp matching of names
1198 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1201 is currently not supported in roles,
1202 but, ... patches welcome

1204 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1205 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1208 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1209 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1210 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1211 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1212 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1213 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1214 - added test for this
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1238 called by the inlined immutable
1240 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1243 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1244 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1245 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1247 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1248 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1252 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1253 causing occasional cpantester failures
1254 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be

1260 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1263 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1264 ->body when looping through the
1265 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1267 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1268 eating the $@ values, and so not
1269 working correctly, it still kind of
1270 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1271 - added tests for this
1273 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1274 - added new recipe for immutable
1275 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1286 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1288 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1289 since Module::Install has done that.

1293 drink more coffee before
1294 doing release engineering
1296 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1297 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

1413 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1414 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
1415 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
1416 officially support it.
1417 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
1418 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
1421 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
1422 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

1453 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1456 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
1457 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1458 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1459 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1461 - added more delegation tests
1462 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1463 support traits and their introspection.
1464 - added tests for this
1467 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
1468 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)

1618 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1620 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1621 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

1704 - added tests for this
1707 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1708 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1750 - fixed how required methods are handled
1751 when they encounter overriden or modified
1752 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1753 - added tests for this
1755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1756 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1757 the | always creates a union and so is
1758 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1759 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1761 - added more tests for this
1763 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1766 * Parameterized Types
1767 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1768 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1769 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1770 They can also be nested:
1771 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1772 And work with the type unions as well:
1773 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1775 * Better Framework Extendability
1776 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1777 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1778 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1779 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1782 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1783 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1784 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1785 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1788 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1790 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2019 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2020 so that you can actually document your
2021 attributes and inspect them through the

2025 * Moose::Meta::Class
2026 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2027 it will first look in for the class in the
2028 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2029 then default to just loading $name.
2030 - added tests and docs for this
2032 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2033 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2034 - added test for this
2037 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2039 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2040 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2042 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2043 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2046 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2048 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2049 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2050 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2053 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2054 !! for this developer release to work !!
2056 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2057 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2058 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2059 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2060 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2061 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2062 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2063 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2064 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2065 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2066 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2068 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2069 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2070 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2071 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2074 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2076 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2077 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2078 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2080 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2082 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2083 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2086 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2087 called unless they actually need to be.
2088 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2089 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2090 DEMOLISH method present.
2092 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2093 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2094 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2095 type constraint, which allows for a
2096 hand optimized version of the type
2097 constraint to be used when possible.
2098 - Any internally created type constraints
2099 now provide an optimized version as well.
2101 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2103 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2104 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2105 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2108 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2109 your class namespace of these exported
2112 * Moose::Meta::Class
2113 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2114 comes up during global destruction
2116 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2120 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2124 - changed how we do type checks so that
2125 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2128 - moved accessor generation methods to
2129 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2130 conform to the API changes from
2133 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2134 - changed how constraints are compiled
2135 so that we do less recursion and more
2136 iteration. This makes the type check
2138 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2142 - created this from methods formerly found in
2143 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2145 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2146 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2148 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2149 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2151 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2152 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2154 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2157 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2158 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2159 - added tests for this
2160 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2161 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2162 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2163 - removed tests for this
2165 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2167 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2168 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2169 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2172 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2173 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2174 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2176 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2177 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2178 comments for more info.
2181 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2182 asked questions and common problems
2184 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2185 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2186 - added tests for this
2188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2189 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2190 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2191 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2193 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2194 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2197 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2198 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2199 is much appreciated :)
2200 - added tests for this
2202 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2203 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2204 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2208 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2210 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2212 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2213 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2217 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2218 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2219 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2221 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2223 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2226 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2227 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2228 keywords because we need to localize them.
2229 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2231 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2232 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2233 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2236 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2240 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2241 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2244 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2245 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2246 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2248 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2250 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2251 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2252 bottom of your class file.
2255 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2258 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2260 - improved error message when loading modules so
2261 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2262 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2263 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2266 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2267 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2268 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2270 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2271 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2273 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2274 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2275 turn them on for you.
2276 - added tests for this
2277 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2278 in Moose::Meta::Class
2281 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2282 automatically turned on for you.
2283 - added tests for this
2286 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2287 - added tests for this
2288 - added some more edge case tests

2301 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2304 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2305 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2306 - This release works in combination with
2307 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2308 release because it uses the a new
2309 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2310 complete Role implementation. It has
2311 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2312 the the previous CPAN version. This
2313 release also lacks good updated docs,
2314 the official release will have updated docs.
2317 - refactored the keyword exports
2318 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2319 accepts more than one Role at a time
2320 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2321 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2324 - refactored the keyword exports
2325 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2326 accepts more than one Role at a time
2328 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2329 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2330 string enumerations which can be used as
2332 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2335 - more careful checking of params to new()
2338 - much work done on the role composition
2339 - many new tests for conflict detection
2340 and composition edge cases
2341 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2342 looking at the tests
2344 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2345 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2346 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2348 * Moose::Meta::Class
2349 - some small changes to support the new
2351 - some small additions to support Roles
2353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2354 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2356 - some small changes to support the new
2358 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2359 with the 'handles' option
2360 - added several tests for this
2361 - no docs for this yet
2363 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2365 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2366 thanks to chansen for this commit
2367 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2368 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2369 on a per-attribute basis
2370 - added tests for this
2371 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2372 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2373 experimental feature and probably not finished
2374 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2375 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2376 - added tests for this
2379 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2391 construct_instance (for the better)
2393 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2438 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2440 - added test for this
2443 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2444 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
