1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
10 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
11 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
13 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
16 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
20 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
21 immutable classes). (mo)
23 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
24 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
25 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
27 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
31 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
33 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
35 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
39 * Fix some indexing issues.
41 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
43 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
47 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
48 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
49 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
50 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
51 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
53 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
54 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
59 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
60 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
61 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
62 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
64 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
65 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
66 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
70 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
71 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
74 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
78 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
79 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
80 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
81 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
84 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
88 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
91 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
95 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
96 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
97 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
99 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
103 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
104 policy. (Chris Prather)
106 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
107 on this new support policy. (doy)
111 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
112 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
113 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
115 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
116 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
118 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
122 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
123 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
124 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
125 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
128 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
132 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
133 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
136 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
140 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
141 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
143 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
144 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
148 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
149 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
150 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
151 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
152 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
153 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
155 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
156 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
158 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
159 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
160 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
161 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
163 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
164 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
171 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
172 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
174 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
178 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
179 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
180 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
182 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
186 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
187 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
188 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
190 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
191 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
194 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
195 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
198 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
199 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
200 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
202 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
203 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
208 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
209 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
210 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
211 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
213 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
214 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
216 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
217 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
219 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
220 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
221 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
222 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
224 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
225 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
226 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
229 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
230 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
231 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
232 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
234 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
235 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
238 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
239 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
240 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
242 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
246 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
247 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
248 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
250 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
251 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
252 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
255 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
256 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
257 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
259 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
260 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
261 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
263 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
264 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
268 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
269 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
270 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
272 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
273 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
274 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
275 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
277 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
281 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
282 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
283 value is a reference.
285 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
286 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
288 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
292 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
293 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
294 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
296 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
300 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
301 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
305 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
306 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
307 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
309 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
310 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
311 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
313 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
317 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
319 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
323 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
325 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
326 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
331 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
332 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
334 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
335 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
336 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
337 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
338 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
340 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
341 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
342 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
343 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
345 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
349 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
350 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
355 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
357 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
359 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
364 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
366 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
370 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
371 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
372 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
374 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
375 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
376 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
377 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
379 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
380 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
381 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
382 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
383 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
386 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
391 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
392 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
393 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
394 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
395 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
398 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
402 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
405 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
406 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
410 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
411 function (not just method). (doy)
415 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
416 and aren't easily installable/testable.
418 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
422 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
423 to be overridden more easily (doy).
425 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
429 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
430 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
432 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
436 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
437 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
438 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
440 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
444 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
445 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
446 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
448 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
449 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
453 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
454 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
456 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
457 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
461 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
462 is applied to a class (t0m).
464 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
465 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
467 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
470 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
471 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
473 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
474 be much more robust. (doy)
476 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
478 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
481 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
485 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
486 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
488 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
492 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
493 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
495 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
498 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
499 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
500 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
502 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
503 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
504 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
507 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
509 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
513 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
514 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
518 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
520 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
525 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
529 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
530 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
534 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
536 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
540 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
541 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
545 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
546 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
550 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
551 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
553 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
557 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
558 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
559 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
562 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
566 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
567 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
568 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
569 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
571 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
575 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
576 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
577 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
581 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
584 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
589 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
590 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
594 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
595 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
597 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
598 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
599 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
600 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
602 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
606 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
610 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
611 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
613 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
614 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
615 - Moose::Util::does_role
616 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
617 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
618 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
620 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
624 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
625 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
626 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
629 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
633 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
634 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
637 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
641 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
642 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
645 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
649 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
651 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
652 class. (Dave Rolsky).
654 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
655 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
656 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
658 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
659 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
660 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
663 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
664 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
666 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
667 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
668 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
670 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
672 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
673 substr et al, again. (sorear)
675 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
677 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
680 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
681 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
683 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
684 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
686 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
687 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
688 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
689 dependencies installed.
691 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
692 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
695 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
697 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
701 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
703 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
704 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
705 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
707 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
708 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
709 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
711 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
712 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
715 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
716 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
717 others. (nothingmuch)
719 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
720 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
721 remove_accessors. (doy)
723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
724 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
725 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
727 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
728 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
730 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
731 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
732 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
733 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
736 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
737 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
739 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
740 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
742 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
744 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
745 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
749 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
750 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
751 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
752 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
754 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
755 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
756 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
757 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
758 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
759 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
760 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
763 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
764 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
765 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
766 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
767 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
769 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
770 which were not receiving the value of
771 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
772 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
773 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
774 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
778 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
779 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
780 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
781 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
782 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
785 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
786 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
787 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
788 - added tests for this (Stevan)
791 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
792 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
793 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
796 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
798 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
801 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
802 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
805 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
806 class if you pass it options for
807 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
808 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
809 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
810 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
811 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
812 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
813 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
814 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
815 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
817 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
818 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
819 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
820 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
821 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
824 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
825 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
826 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
827 existing delegation API. (hdp)
829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
830 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
831 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
832 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
833 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
834 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
837 * Moose::Error::Croak
838 * Moose::Error::Confess
839 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
840 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
843 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
846 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
847 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
848 installing a broken sub. (doy)
851 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
854 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
855 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
856 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
858 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
859 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
860 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
861 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
862 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
864 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
865 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
868 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
870 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
871 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
874 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
875 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
878 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
879 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
880 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
883 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
884 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
885 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
886 using it for new code!
888 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
889 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
890 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
891 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
893 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
894 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
895 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
896 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
897 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
898 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
899 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
900 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
903 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
906 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
907 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
911 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
914 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
915 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
918 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
919 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
920 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
923 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
924 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
926 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
927 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
928 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
931 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
933 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
934 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
935 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
936 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
938 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
940 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
944 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
945 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
947 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
948 associated_methods. (hdp)
949 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
950 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
951 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
952 misspelled) arguments
954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
955 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
956 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
957 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
959 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
961 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
963 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
967 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
968 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
971 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
972 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
974 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
976 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
977 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
979 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
980 * Moose::Manual::Types
981 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
982 string parsing rathole (mst)
984 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
985 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
986 using plain objects instead
988 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
989 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
992 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
994 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
995 three times today (perigrin)
996 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
997 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
999 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1000 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1001 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1002 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1005 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1006 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1007 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1008 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1009 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1010 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1013 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1014 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1015 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1016 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1019 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1021 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1024 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1026 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1029 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1030 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1031 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1035 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1036 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1039 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1040 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1042 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1043 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1044 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1046 * Moose::Unsweetened
1047 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1049 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1050 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1053 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1057 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1058 methods during global destruction (doy)
1060 * Moose::Meta::Class
1061 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1062 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1063 consumption (Sartak)
1065 * Moose::Meta::Class
1066 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1067 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1070 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1071 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1074 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1075 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1077 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1079 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1083 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1084 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1085 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1088 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1089 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1090 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1093 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1095 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1096 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1097 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1101 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1102 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1103 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1105 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1106 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1107 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1110 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1113 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1114 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1115 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1119 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1120 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Class
1123 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1125 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1127 * Moose::Meta::Class
1128 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1129 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1132 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1133 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1136 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1137 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1140 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1143 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1145 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1146 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1149 * Moose::Meta::Class
1150 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1153 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1156 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1157 * More deprecations and renamings
1158 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1159 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1160 when an object is constructed)
1163 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1164 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1165 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1167 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1168 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1169 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1170 feature, and it works again.
1173 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1175 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1177 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1178 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1179 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1182 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1183 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1184 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1185 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1187 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1188 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1189 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1190 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1191 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1194 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1195 metaclass object. (hdp)
1197 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1199 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1200 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1201 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1202 point out this fact. (hdp)
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1205 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1207 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1208 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1210 * Moose::Meta::Class
1211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1212 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1213 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1214 called during instance construction were passed the
1215 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1216 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1218 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1219 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1222 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1223 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1224 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1227 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1228 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1229 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1230 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1231 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1233 - Moose::Meta::Class
1234 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1236 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1237 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1238 when an object is constructed)
1239 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1241 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1242 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1243 when an object is constructed)
1244 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1245 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1246 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1249 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1251 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1252 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1254 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1256 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1257 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1258 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1261 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1262 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1264 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1266 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1267 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1269 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1270 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1273 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1274 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1277 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1278 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1279 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1282 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1286 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1287 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1288 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1291 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1294 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1295 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1296 with recommended workarounds.
1298 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1299 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1302 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1303 (yes, spelled like that).
1305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1306 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1308 * Moose::Meta::Class
1309 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1310 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1312 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1315 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1316 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1317 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1318 instead. Reported by doy.
1320 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1322 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1323 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1325 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1326 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1327 message) is now deprecated.
1328 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1329 often got it wrong. For example:
1331 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1333 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1337 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1338 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1339 bite you in weird cases.
1341 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1343 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1344 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1346 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1347 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1351 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1354 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1355 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1358 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1359 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1361 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1362 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1365 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1367 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1368 - added tests for this (stevan)
1370 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1371 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1372 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1373 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1377 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1378 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1379 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1380 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1382 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1383 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1384 - added tests for this (rafl)
1386 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1387 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1388 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1389 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1393 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1394 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1397 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1398 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1399 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1401 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1403 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1404 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1406 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1407 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1408 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1409 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1410 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1413 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1414 error message did not specify the attribute name
1417 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1419 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1421 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1422 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1423 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1426 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1429 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1431 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1432 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1433 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1434 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1436 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1438 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1439 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1440 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1441 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1444 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1445 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1448 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1449 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1450 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1451 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1453 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1454 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1455 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1456 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1457 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1460 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1461 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1462 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1463 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1464 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1466 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1467 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1468 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1469 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1470 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1471 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1474 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1476 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1477 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1478 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1479 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1481 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1482 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1485 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1489 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1490 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1492 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1493 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1494 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1495 guts. (nothingmuch).
1497 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1499 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1502 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1503 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1504 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1506 * Moose::Meta::Class
1507 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1510 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1511 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1513 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1514 * Moose::Unsweetened
1515 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1518 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1519 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1520 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1521 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1522 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1523 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1525 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1526 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1527 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1528 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1529 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1530 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1531 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1532 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1533 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1534 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1536 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1538 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1539 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1542 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1543 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1544 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1546 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1547 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1548 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1549 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1550 same methods for a single role did not work
1551 right (worked just fine with multiple
1553 - added test for this (stevan)
1555 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1556 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1557 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1560 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1561 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1562 - added test for this (t0m)
1565 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1566 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1567 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1570 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1571 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1572 - added test for this (t0m)
1574 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1575 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1576 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1577 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1578 - added test for this (perigrin)
1581 - create method for constructing a role
1582 dynamically (Sartak)
1583 - added test for this (Sartak)
1584 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1585 - added test for this (Sartak)
1588 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1591 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1592 methods is useful (Sartak)
1594 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1595 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1596 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1599 * Moose::Meta::Class
1600 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1601 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1602 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1603 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1604 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1608 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1609 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1611 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1612 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1613 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1614 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1615 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1617 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1619 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1620 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1621 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1624 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1625 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1626 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1627 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1628 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1629 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1633 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1634 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1635 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1636 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1637 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1638 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1639 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1640 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1641 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1642 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1644 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1645 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1648 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1649 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1650 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1651 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1652 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1654 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1656 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1657 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1658 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1660 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1661 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1664 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1665 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1666 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1669 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1670 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1672 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1674 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1675 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1677 * Moose::Meta::Class
1678 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1679 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1680 a required attribute
1682 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1683 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1684 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1685 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1687 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1688 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1691 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1692 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1693 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1694 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1695 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1696 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1697 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1699 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1700 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1701 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1703 * Roles and role application
1704 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1705 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1706 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1707 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1708 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1710 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1711 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1714 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1715 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1716 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1717 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1718 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1721 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1722 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1723 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1724 changes in the Moose internals.
1726 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1727 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1728 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1731 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1732 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1733 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1734 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1736 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1737 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1738 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1739 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1742 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1743 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1744 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1745 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1746 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1747 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1748 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1749 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1750 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1751 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1752 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1753 constraint implementations.
1755 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1759 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1760 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1761 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1762 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1763 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1764 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 - added tests for this (rafl)
1767 * Moose::Meta::Class
1768 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1769 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1770 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1771 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1772 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1773 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1774 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1778 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1779 - added tests for this (thepler)
1781 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1782 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1783 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1784 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1787 * Moose::Meta::Class
1788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1789 * Moose::Meta::Method
1792 * Moose::Error::Default
1793 * Moose::Error::Croak
1794 * Moose::Error::Confess
1795 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1796 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1797 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1798 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1799 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1800 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1802 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1804 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1805 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1807 * Moose::Unsweetened
1808 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1809 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1810 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1813 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1814 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1815 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1816 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1819 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1820 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1822 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1823 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1824 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1825 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1828 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1830 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1831 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1833 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1836 - Various bug fixes.
1838 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1839 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1841 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1843 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1844 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1845 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1846 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1847 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1848 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1850 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1851 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1852 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1854 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1855 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1856 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1859 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1860 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1861 dependency to 0.64_07.
1863 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1864 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1865 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1867 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1868 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1871 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1872 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1873 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1874 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1875 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1876 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1878 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1879 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1881 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1883 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1884 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1888 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1889 method when that method was provided by another role being
1890 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1891 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1893 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1895 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1896 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1898 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1899 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1900 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1901 - added test for this (t0m)
1903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1904 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1905 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1907 - added test for this (t0m)
1910 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1911 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1912 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1915 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1916 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1918 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1920 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1921 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1923 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1924 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1925 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1927 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1928 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1931 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1932 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1933 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1934 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1938 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1939 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1940 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1943 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1944 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1945 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1946 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1949 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1953 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1954 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1955 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1957 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1959 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1960 created so that the process can be more easily
1961 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1963 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1964 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1965 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1966 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1969 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1972 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1973 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1975 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1976 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1977 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1979 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1980 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1981 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1983 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1984 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1986 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1987 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1990 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1991 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1995 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1996 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1998 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1999 ... this is not my day today ...
2001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2002 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2003 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2004 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2005 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2008 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2009 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2010 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2011 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2012 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2015 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2017 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2018 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2019 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2020 this is not ever something you want to do
2021 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2022 - added tests for this (stevan)
2025 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2027 - added test for this
2029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2030 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2031 - added tests for this (wreis)
2033 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2034 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2035 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2036 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2038 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2039 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2040 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2043 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2045 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2047 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2050 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2051 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2052 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2053 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2054 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2055 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2056 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2057 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2058 - added tests for this
2060 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2061 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2062 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2735 when they encounter overriden or modified
2736 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2737 - added tests for this
2739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2740 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2741 the | always creates a union and so is
2742 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2743 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2745 - added more tests for this
2747 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2750 * Parameterized Types
2751 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2752 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2753 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2754 They can also be nested:
2755 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2756 And work with the type unions as well:
2757 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2759 * Better Framework Extendability
2760 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2761 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2762 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2763 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2766 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2767 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2768 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2769 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2772 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2774 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2775 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2810 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2811 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2813 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2814 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2815 - updated the accompanying test as well
2817 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2818 +++ with new features added as well +++
2820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2821 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2822 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

2824 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2826 - added tests for this
2828 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2829 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2830 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2831 can track where the type constraints are created
2833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2834 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2835 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2837 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2838 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2839 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2840 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2854 (thanks to shlomif).
2856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2857 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2858 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2859 - added tests for this

2907 (but not changing the handles option)
2908 - added tests and docs for this
2911 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2912 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2923 the other side (perigrin)
2925 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2927 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2928 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2929 prototypes for functions
2930 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2931 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2941 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2944 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2945 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2946 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2947 - added tests for this
2949 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2951 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2972 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2973 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2975 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2976 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2977 so this release is just to fix that.
2980 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2981 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2982 (thanks to konobi for this)

2994 functions to facilitate introspection.
2996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2997 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2998 to build the list of delegated methods
2999 correctly (and not override important
3000 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3002 - added tests and docs for this
3003 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3004 so that you can actually document your
3005 attributes and inspect them through the
3007 - added tests and docs for this
3009 * Moose::Meta::Class
3010 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3011 it will first look in for the class in the
3012 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3013 then default to just loading $name.
3014 - added tests and docs for this
3016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3017 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3018 - added test for this
3021 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3022 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3023 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3024 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3026 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3027 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3030 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3032 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3033 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3034 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3037 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3038 !! for this developer release to work !!
3040 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3041 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3042 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3043 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3044 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3045 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3046 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3047 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3048 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3049 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3050 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3052 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3053 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3054 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3055 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3058 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3060 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3061 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3062 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3064 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3066 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3067 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3070 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3071 called unless they actually need to be.
3072 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3073 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3074 DEMOLISH method present.
3076 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3078 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3079 type constraint, which allows for a
3080 hand optimized version of the type
3081 constraint to be used when possible.
3082 - Any internally created type constraints
3083 now provide an optimized version as well.
3085 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3087 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3088 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3089 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3092 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3093 your class namespace of these exported
3096 * Moose::Meta::Class
3097 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3098 comes up during global destruction
3100 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3104 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3108 - changed how we do type checks so that
3109 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3112 - moved accessor generation methods to
3113 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3114 conform to the API changes from
3117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3118 - changed how constraints are compiled
3119 so that we do less recursion and more
3120 iteration. This makes the type check
3122 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3126 - created this from methods formerly found in
3127 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3129 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3130 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3133 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3136 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3138 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3141 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3142 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3143 - added tests for this
3144 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3145 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3146 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3147 - removed tests for this
3149 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3151 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3152 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3153 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3156 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3157 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3158 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3160 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3161 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3162 comments for more info.
3165 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3166 asked questions and common problems
3168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3169 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3170 - added tests for this
3172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3173 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3174 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3175 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3177 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3178 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3181 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3182 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3183 is much appreciated :)
3184 - added tests for this
3186 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3187 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3188 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3191 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3192 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3194 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3196 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3197 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3201 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3202 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3203 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3205 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3207 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3210 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3211 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3212 keywords because we need to localize them.
3213 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3215 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3216 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3217 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3220 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3224 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3225 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3228 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3229 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3230 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3232 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3234 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3235 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3236 bottom of your class file.
3239 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3242 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3244 - improved error message when loading modules so
3245 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3246 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3247 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3250 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3251 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3252 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3255 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3257 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3258 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3259 turn them on for you.
3260 - added tests for this
3261 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3262 in Moose::Meta::Class

3289 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3290 - This release works in combination with
3291 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3292 release because it uses the a new
3293 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3294 complete Role implementation. It has
3295 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3296 the the previous CPAN version. This
3297 release also lacks good updated docs,
3298 the official release will have updated docs.
3301 - refactored the keyword exports
3302 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3303 accepts more than one Role at a time

3314 string enumerations which can be used as
3316 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3319 - more careful checking of params to new()
3322 - much work done on the role composition
3323 - many new tests for conflict detection
3324 and composition edge cases
3325 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3326 looking at the tests

3349 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3350 thanks to chansen for this commit
3351 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3352 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3353 on a per-attribute basis
3354 - added tests for this
3355 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3356 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3357 experimental feature and probably not finished

3359 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3360 - added tests for this

3375 construct_instance (for the better)
3377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3422 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3424 - added test for this
3427 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3428 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
