5 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve
6 startup performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements
7 may break backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using)
8 complex metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!

11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
12 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
13 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
15 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
16 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers
17 to the existing delegation API. (hdp)
19 * Moose::AttributeHelpers
20 - Moved in from MooseX with API tweaks. See Moose::Manual::Delta for
21 details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels)
23 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
24 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect the new
25 layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All work now should
26 be done in topic branches and reviewed by a core committer before
27 being applied to master. All releases are done by a cabal member and
28 merged from master to stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame
32 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application classes.
34 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
35 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application classes. (rafl)
38 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
39 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
40 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
43 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
44 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
46 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
47 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
48 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
51 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
52 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
53 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
54 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
55 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
56 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
58 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
60 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
63 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
64 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
65 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
67 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
68 associated_methods. (hdp)
69 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
70 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
71 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
74 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
75 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
76 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
77 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
79 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
80 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
81 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
83 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
86 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
87 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
88 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
91 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
92 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
94 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
96 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
97 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
99 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
100 * Moose::Manual::Types
101 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
102 string parsing rathole (mst)
104 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
105 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
106 using plain objects instead
108 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
109 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
112 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
114 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
115 three times today (perigrin)
116 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
117 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
120 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
121 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
122 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
125 - A role's required methods are now represented by
126 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
127 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
128 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
129 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
130 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
133 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
134 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
135 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
136 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
139 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
141 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
144 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
146 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
149 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
150 during global destruction. This method has been made more
151 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
155 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
156 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
159 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
160 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
162 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
163 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
164 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
167 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
169 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
170 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
173 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
177 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
178 methods during global destruction (doy)
181 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
182 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
186 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
187 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
190 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
191 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
194 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
195 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
197 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
199 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
203 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
204 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
205 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
208 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
209 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
210 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
213 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
215 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
216 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
217 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
220 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
221 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
222 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
223 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
225 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
226 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
227 of the Moose core (Sartak)
230 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
233 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
234 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
235 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
239 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
240 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
243 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
245 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
248 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
249 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
252 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
253 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
256 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
257 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
260 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
263 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
266 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
270 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
273 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
276 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
277 * More deprecations and renamings
278 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
279 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
280 when an object is constructed)
283 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
284 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
285 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
287 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
288 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
289 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
290 feature, and it works again.
293 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
295 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
297 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
298 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
299 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
302 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
303 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
304 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
305 message. Test provided by perigrin.
307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
308 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
309 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
310 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
311 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
314 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
315 metaclass object. (hdp)
317 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
318 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
319 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
320 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
321 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
322 point out this fact. (hdp)
324 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
325 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
327 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
328 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
332 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
333 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
334 called during instance construction were passed the
335 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
336 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
338 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
339 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
342 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
343 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
344 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
347 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
348 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
349 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
350 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
351 them, but they are not for "public" use.
354 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
356 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
357 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
358 when an object is constructed)
359 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
361 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
362 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
363 when an object is constructed)
364 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
365 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
366 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
369 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
371 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
372 * No changes from 0.72_01.
374 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
376 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
377 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
378 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
381 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
382 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
384 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
386 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
387 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
389 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
390 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
393 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
394 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
397 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
398 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
399 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
402 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
406 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
407 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
408 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
410 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
411 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
414 * Moose::Manual::Delta
415 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
416 with recommended workarounds.
418 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
419 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
422 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
423 (yes, spelled like that).
425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
426 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
429 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
430 changes in latest Class::MOP.
432 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
435 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
436 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
437 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
438 instead. Reported by doy.
440 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
442 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
443 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
445 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
446 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
447 message) is now deprecated.
448 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
449 often got it wrong. For example:
451 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
453 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
457 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
458 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
459 bite you in weird cases.
461 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
462 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
463 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
466 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
467 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
471 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
474 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
475 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
478 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
479 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
481 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
482 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
485 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
487 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
488 - added tests for this (stevan)
490 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
491 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
492 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
493 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
497 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
498 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
499 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
500 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
502 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
503 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
504 - added tests for this (rafl)
506 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
507 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
508 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
509 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
513 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
514 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
517 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
518 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
519 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
521 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
523 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
524 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
527 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
528 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
529 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
530 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
532 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
533 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
534 error message did not specify the attribute name
537 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
539 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
541 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
542 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
543 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
545 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
546 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
549 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
551 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
552 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
553 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
554 of fixes and formatting improvements.
556 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
558 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
559 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
560 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
561 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
563 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
564 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
565 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
568 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
569 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
570 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
571 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
574 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
575 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
576 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
577 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
579 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
580 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
581 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
582 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
583 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
584 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
586 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
587 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
588 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
589 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
590 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
591 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
593 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
594 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
596 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
597 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
598 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
599 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
601 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
602 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
605 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
609 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
610 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
612 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
613 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
614 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
617 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
619 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
621 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
622 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
623 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
624 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
627 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
630 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
631 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
633 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
635 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
638 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
639 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
640 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
641 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
642 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
643 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
645 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
646 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
647 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
648 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
649 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
650 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
651 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
652 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
653 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
654 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
656 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
658 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
659 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
661 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
662 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
663 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
664 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
666 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
667 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
668 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
669 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
670 same methods for a single role did not work
671 right (worked just fine with multiple
673 - added test for this (stevan)
675 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
676 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
677 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
680 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
681 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
682 - added test for this (t0m)
685 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
686 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
687 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
690 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
691 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
692 - added test for this (t0m)
694 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
695 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
696 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
697 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
698 - added test for this (perigrin)
701 - create method for constructing a role
703 - added test for this (Sartak)
704 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
705 - added test for this (Sartak)
708 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
710 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
711 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
712 methods is useful (Sartak)
714 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
716 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
720 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
721 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
722 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
723 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
724 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
725 - added tests for this (jdv79)
728 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
729 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
731 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
732 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
733 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
734 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
735 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
737 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
739 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
740 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
741 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
744 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
745 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
746 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
747 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
748 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
749 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
753 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
754 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
755 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
756 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
757 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
758 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
759 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
760 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
761 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
762 future. (jnapiorkowski)
764 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
765 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
769 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
770 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
771 type. (jnapiorkowski)
772 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
774 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
776 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
777 predicate, and link to more details sections in
778 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
781 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
784 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
785 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
786 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
789 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
790 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
792 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
794 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
795 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
798 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
799 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
803 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
804 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
805 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
807 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
808 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
811 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
812 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
813 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
814 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
815 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
816 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
817 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
819 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
820 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
821 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
823 * Roles and role application
824 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
825 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
826 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
827 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
828 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
830 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
831 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
834 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
835 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
836 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
837 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
838 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
841 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
842 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
843 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
844 changes in the Moose internals.
846 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
847 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
848 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
851 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
852 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
853 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
854 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
856 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
857 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
858 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
859 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
862 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
863 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
864 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
865 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
866 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
867 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
868 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
869 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
870 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
871 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
872 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
873 constraint implementations.
875 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
879 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
880 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
881 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
882 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
883 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
884 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
885 - added tests for this (rafl)
888 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
889 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
890 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
891 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
892 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
893 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
894 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
895 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
898 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
899 - added tests for this (thepler)
901 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
902 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
903 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
904 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
909 * Moose::Meta::Method
912 * Moose::Error::Default
913 * Moose::Error::Croak
914 * Moose::Error::Confess
915 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
916 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
917 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
918 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
919 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
920 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
922 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
924 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
925 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
928 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
929 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
930 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
933 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
934 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
935 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
936 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
939 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
940 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
942 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
943 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
944 several major changes in this release of Moose.
945 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
948 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
950 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
951 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
953 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
958 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
959 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
961 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
963 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
964 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
965 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
966 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
967 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
968 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
970 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
971 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
972 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
974 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
975 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
976 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
979 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
980 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
981 dependency to 0.64_07.
983 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
984 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
985 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
987 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
988 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
992 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
993 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
994 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
995 coincidental exception. (t0m).
996 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
998 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
999 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1001 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1003 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1004 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1008 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1009 method when that method was provided by another role being
1010 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1011 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1013 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1015 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1016 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1018 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1019 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1020 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1021 - added test for this (t0m)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1024 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1025 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1027 - added test for this (t0m)
1030 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1031 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1032 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1035 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1036 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1038 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1040 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1041 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1043 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1044 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1045 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1047 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1048 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1051 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1052 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1053 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1054 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1058 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1059 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1060 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1063 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1064 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1065 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1066 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1069 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1073 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1074 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1075 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1077 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1078 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1079 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1080 created so that the process can be more easily
1081 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1083 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1084 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1085 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1086 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1088 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1089 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1092 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1093 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1095 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1096 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1097 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1099 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1100 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1101 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1103 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1104 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1106 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1107 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1110 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1111 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1115 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1116 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1118 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1119 ... this is not my day today ...
1121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1122 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1123 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1124 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1125 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1128 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1129 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1130 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1131 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1132 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1135 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1137 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1138 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1139 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1140 this is not ever something you want to do
1141 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1142 - added tests for this (stevan)
1145 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1147 - added test for this
1149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1150 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1151 - added tests for this (wreis)
1153 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1154 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1155 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1156 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1158 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1159 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1160 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1163 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1165 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1167 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1170 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1171 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1172 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1173 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1174 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1175 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1176 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1177 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1178 - added tests for this
1180 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1181 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1182 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1183 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1185 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1188 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1189 - added tests for this (sartak)
1190 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1191 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1194 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1196 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1197 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1201 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1202 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1204 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1206 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1207 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1210 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1211 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1212 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1214 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1215 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1216 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1218 - added docs for this (TODO).
1219 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1220 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1221 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1222 - fix builder and default both being used
1227 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1229 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1230 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1231 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1235 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1239 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1240 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1241 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1243 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1244 - move the ClassName type check code to
1245 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1247 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1248 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1250 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1251 (early morning release engineering)--
1253 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1254 which was causing the indexer to choke
1256 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1257 (late night release engineering)--
1259 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1260 changes in this release
1262 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1263 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1264 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1266 * Moose::Meta::Class
1267 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1268 since it is called so often by &meta
1270 * Moose::Meta::Class
1272 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1273 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1277 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1278 method for immutablization to check if the
1279 destructor object even needs to be created
1282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1283 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1284 - added more descriptive error message to help
1285 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1286 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1288 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1290 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1291 XS based functionality is now optional
1292 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1293 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1294 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1296 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1297 to take care of this, mostly we added
1298 support for the package_name and name
1299 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1300 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1301 support regexp matching of names
1302 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1303 - tests added for this
1304 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1305 is currently not supported in roles,
1306 but, ... patches welcome
1307 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1308 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1309 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1312 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1313 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1314 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1315 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1316 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1317 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1318 - added test for this
1320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1321 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1322 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1325 * Moose::Meta::Class
1326 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1330 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1332 - added tests for this
1333 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1334 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1336 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1337 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1338 themselves parameterizable types
1340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1341 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1342 called by the inlined immutable
1344 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1347 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1348 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1349 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1351 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1352 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1356 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1357 causing occasional cpantester failures
1358 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1359 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1361 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1363 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1364 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1367 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1368 ->body when looping through the
1369 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1371 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1372 eating the $@ values, and so not
1373 working correctly, it still kind of
1374 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1375 - added tests for this
1377 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1378 - added new recipe for immutable
1379 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1381 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1382 - added new recipe for builder and
1383 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1385 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1386 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1387 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1390 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1392 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1393 since Module::Install has done that.
1395 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1397 drink more coffee before
1398 doing release engineering
1400 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1401 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1402 modules. This fixes that.

1515 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1517 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1808 - added tests for this
1811 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1812 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1854 - fixed how required methods are handled
1855 when they encounter overriden or modified
1856 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1857 - added tests for this
1859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1867 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1870 * Parameterized Types
1871 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1872 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1873 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1874 They can also be nested:
1875 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1876 And work with the type unions as well:
1877 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1879 * Better Framework Extendability
1880 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1881 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1882 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1883 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1886 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1887 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1888 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1889 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2090 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2092 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2093 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

2096 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2097 so this release is just to fix that.
2100 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2101 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2102 (thanks to konobi for this)
2103 - added tests and docs
2105 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2106 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2109 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2110 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2111 - added tests for this
2112 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2113 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2114 functions to facilitate introspection.
2116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2117 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2118 to build the list of delegated methods
2119 correctly (and not override important
2120 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2122 - added tests and docs for this
2123 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2124 so that you can actually document your
2125 attributes and inspect them through the
2127 - added tests and docs for this
2129 * Moose::Meta::Class
2130 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2131 it will first look in for the class in the
2132 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2133 then default to just loading $name.
2134 - added tests and docs for this
2136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2137 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2138 - added test for this
2141 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2142 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2143 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2144 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2146 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2147 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2150 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2152 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2153 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2154 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2157 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2158 !! for this developer release to work !!
2160 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2161 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2162 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2163 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2164 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2165 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2166 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2167 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2168 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2169 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2170 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2172 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2173 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2174 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2175 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2178 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2180 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2181 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2182 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2184 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2186 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2187 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2190 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2191 called unless they actually need to be.
2192 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2193 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2194 DEMOLISH method present.
2196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2197 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2198 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2199 type constraint, which allows for a
2200 hand optimized version of the type
2201 constraint to be used when possible.
2202 - Any internally created type constraints
2203 now provide an optimized version as well.
2205 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2207 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2208 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2209 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2212 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2213 your class namespace of these exported
2216 * Moose::Meta::Class
2217 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2218 comes up during global destruction
2220 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2224 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2228 - changed how we do type checks so that
2229 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2232 - moved accessor generation methods to
2233 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2234 conform to the API changes from
2237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2238 - changed how constraints are compiled
2239 so that we do less recursion and more
2240 iteration. This makes the type check
2242 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2245 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2246 - created this from methods formerly found in
2247 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2249 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2250 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2253 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2256 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2258 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2261 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2262 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2263 - added tests for this
2264 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2265 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2266 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2267 - removed tests for this
2269 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2271 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2272 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2273 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2276 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2277 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2278 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2280 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2281 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2282 comments for more info.
2285 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2286 asked questions and common problems
2288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2289 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2290 - added tests for this
2292 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2293 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2294 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2295 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2297 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2298 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2301 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2302 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2303 is much appreciated :)
2304 - added tests for this
2306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2307 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2308 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2311 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2312 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2314 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2316 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2317 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2321 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2322 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2323 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2325 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2327 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2330 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2331 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2332 keywords because we need to localize them.
2333 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2335 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2336 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2337 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2340 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2343 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2344 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2345 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2348 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2349 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2350 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2352 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2354 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2355 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2356 bottom of your class file.
2359 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2362 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2364 - improved error message when loading modules so
2365 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2366 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2367 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2370 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2371 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2372 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2374 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2375 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2377 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2378 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2379 turn them on for you.
2380 - added tests for this

2409 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2410 - This release works in combination with
2411 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2412 release because it uses the a new
2413 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2414 complete Role implementation. It has
2415 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2416 the the previous CPAN version. This
2417 release also lacks good updated docs,
2418 the official release will have updated docs.
2421 - refactored the keyword exports
2422 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2423 accepts more than one Role at a time

2434 string enumerations which can be used as
2436 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2439 - more careful checking of params to new()
2442 - much work done on the role composition
2443 - many new tests for conflict detection
2444 and composition edge cases
2445 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2446 looking at the tests
2448 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2449 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2450 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2460 - some small changes to support the new
2462 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2463 with the 'handles' option

2469 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2470 thanks to chansen for this commit
2471 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2472 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2473 on a per-attribute basis
2474 - added tests for this
2475 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2476 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
