1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
10 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
11 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
12 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
14 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
18 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
19 skips every other role. (rjbs)
21 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
22 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
23 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
24 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
25 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
27 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
31 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
32 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
33 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
36 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
41 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
43 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
44 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
46 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
50 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
51 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
52 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
56 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
57 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
59 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
60 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
62 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
63 environments. (doy, mateu)
65 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
69 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
70 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
71 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
72 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
76 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
77 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
79 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
83 * Update conflicts list.
86 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
90 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
91 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
92 details. (Dave Rolsky)
94 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
95 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
96 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
97 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
98 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
102 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
103 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
104 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
105 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
106 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
109 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
113 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
114 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
116 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
119 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
123 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
124 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
125 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
126 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
128 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
129 immutable classes). (mo)
131 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
132 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
133 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
135 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
139 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
141 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
143 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
147 * Fix some indexing issues.
149 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
151 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
155 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
156 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
157 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
158 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
159 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
161 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
162 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
167 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
168 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
169 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
170 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
172 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
173 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
174 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
178 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
179 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
182 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
186 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
187 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
191 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
195 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
196 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
197 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
198 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
201 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
205 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
208 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
212 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
213 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
214 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
217 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
221 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
222 policy. (Chris Prather)
224 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
225 on this new support policy. (doy)
229 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
230 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
231 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
233 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
234 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
236 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
240 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
241 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
242 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
243 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
246 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
250 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
251 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
254 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
258 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
259 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
261 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
262 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
266 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
267 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
268 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
269 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
270 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
271 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
273 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
274 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
276 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
277 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
278 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
279 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
281 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
282 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
284 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
289 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
290 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
292 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
296 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
297 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
298 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
300 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
304 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
305 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
306 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
308 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
309 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
312 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
313 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
316 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
317 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
318 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
320 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
321 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
326 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
327 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
328 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
329 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
331 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
332 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
334 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
335 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
337 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
338 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
339 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
340 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
342 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
343 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
344 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
347 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
348 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
349 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
350 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
352 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
353 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
356 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
357 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
358 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
360 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
364 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
365 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
366 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
368 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
369 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
370 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
373 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
374 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
375 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
377 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
378 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
379 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
381 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
382 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
386 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
387 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
388 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
390 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
391 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
392 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
393 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
395 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
399 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
400 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
401 value is a reference.
403 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
404 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
406 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
410 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
411 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
412 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
414 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
418 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
419 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
423 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
424 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
425 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
428 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
429 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
431 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
435 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
437 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
441 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
443 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
444 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
449 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
450 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
452 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
453 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
454 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
455 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
456 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
458 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
459 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
460 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
461 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
463 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
467 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
468 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
473 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
475 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
477 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
482 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
484 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
488 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
489 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
490 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
492 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
493 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
494 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
495 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
497 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
498 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
499 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
500 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
501 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
504 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
509 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
510 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
511 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
512 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
513 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
516 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
520 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
523 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
524 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
528 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
529 function (not just method). (doy)
533 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
534 and aren't easily installable/testable.
536 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
540 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
541 to be overridden more easily (doy).
543 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
547 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
548 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
550 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
554 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
555 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
556 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
558 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
562 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
563 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
564 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
566 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
567 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
571 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
572 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
574 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
575 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
579 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
580 is applied to a class (t0m).
582 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
583 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
585 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
588 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
589 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
591 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
592 be much more robust. (doy)
594 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
596 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
599 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
603 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
604 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
606 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
610 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
611 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
613 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
616 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
617 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
618 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
620 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
621 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
622 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
625 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
627 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
631 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
632 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
636 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
638 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
643 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
647 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
648 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
652 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
654 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
658 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
659 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
663 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
664 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
668 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
669 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
671 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
675 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
676 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
677 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
680 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
684 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
685 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
686 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
687 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
689 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
693 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
694 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
695 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
699 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
702 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
706 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
707 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
708 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
712 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
713 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
715 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
716 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
717 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
718 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
720 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
724 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
728 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
729 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
731 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
732 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
733 - Moose::Util::does_role
734 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
735 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
736 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
738 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
742 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
743 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
744 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
747 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
751 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
752 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
755 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
759 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
760 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
763 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
767 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
769 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
770 class. (Dave Rolsky).
772 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
773 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
774 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
776 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
777 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
778 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
781 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
782 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
784 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
785 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
786 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
788 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
790 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
791 substr et al, again. (sorear)
793 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
795 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
798 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
799 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
801 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
802 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
804 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
805 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
806 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
807 dependencies installed.
809 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
810 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
813 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
815 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
819 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
822 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
823 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
826 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
827 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
829 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
830 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
833 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
834 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
835 others. (nothingmuch)
837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
838 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
839 remove_accessors. (doy)
841 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
842 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
843 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
846 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
848 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
850 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
851 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
854 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
855 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
858 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
860 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
862 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
863 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
866 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
867 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
868 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
869 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
870 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
872 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
873 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
874 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
875 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
876 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
877 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
878 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
881 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
882 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
883 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
884 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
885 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
887 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
888 which were not receiving the value of
889 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
890 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
891 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
892 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
896 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
897 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
898 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
899 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
900 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
903 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
904 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
905 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
906 - added tests for this (Stevan)
909 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
910 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
911 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
914 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
916 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
918 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
919 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
920 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
923 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
924 class if you pass it options for
925 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
926 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
927 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
928 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
929 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
930 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
931 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
932 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
933 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
935 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
936 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
937 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
938 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
939 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
942 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
944 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
945 existing delegation API. (hdp)
947 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
948 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
949 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
950 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
951 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
952 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
955 * Moose::Error::Croak
956 * Moose::Error::Confess
957 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
958 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
961 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
964 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
965 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
966 installing a broken sub. (doy)
969 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
972 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
973 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
974 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
976 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
977 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
978 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
979 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
980 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
983 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
986 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
988 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
989 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
992 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
993 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
995 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
996 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
997 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
998 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1000 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1001 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1002 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1003 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1004 using it for new code!
1006 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1007 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1008 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1009 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1011 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1012 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1013 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1014 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1015 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1016 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1017 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1018 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1021 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1024 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1025 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1029 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1032 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1033 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1035 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1037 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1038 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1040 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1041 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1042 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1044 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1045 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1046 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1049 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1050 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1051 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1052 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1053 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1054 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1056 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1058 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1062 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1063 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1065 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1066 associated_methods. (hdp)
1067 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1068 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1069 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1070 misspelled) arguments
1072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1073 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1074 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1075 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1078 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1079 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1081 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1085 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1086 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1089 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1090 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1092 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1093 * Moose::Meta::Class
1094 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1095 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1097 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1098 * Moose::Manual::Types
1099 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1100 string parsing rathole (mst)
1102 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1103 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1104 using plain objects instead
1106 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1107 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1108 that's what we need.
1110 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1111 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1112 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1113 three times today (perigrin)
1114 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1115 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1118 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1119 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1120 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1123 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1124 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1125 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1126 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1127 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1128 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1131 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1132 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1133 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1134 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1137 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1139 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1142 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1144 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1147 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1148 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1149 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1153 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1154 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1157 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1158 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1160 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1161 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1162 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1164 * Moose::Unsweetened
1165 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1167 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1168 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1171 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1175 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1176 methods during global destruction (doy)
1178 * Moose::Meta::Class
1179 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1180 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1181 consumption (Sartak)
1183 * Moose::Meta::Class
1184 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1185 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1188 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1189 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1192 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1193 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1195 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1197 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1201 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1202 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1203 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1206 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1207 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1208 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1211 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1213 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1214 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1215 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1219 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1220 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1221 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1223 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1224 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1225 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1228 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1231 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1232 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1233 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1237 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1238 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1240 * Moose::Meta::Class
1241 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1243 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1245 * Moose::Meta::Class
1246 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1247 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1250 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1251 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1254 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1255 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1258 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1261 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1264 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1267 * Moose::Meta::Class
1268 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1270 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1271 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1274 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1275 * More deprecations and renamings
1276 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1277 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1278 when an object is constructed)
1281 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1282 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1283 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1285 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1286 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1287 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1288 feature, and it works again.
1291 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1293 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1295 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1296 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1297 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1300 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1301 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1302 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1303 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1305 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1306 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1307 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1308 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1309 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1312 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1313 metaclass object. (hdp)
1315 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1316 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1317 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1318 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1319 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1320 point out this fact. (hdp)
1322 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1323 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1325 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1326 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1328 * Moose::Meta::Class
1329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1330 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1331 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1332 called during instance construction were passed the
1333 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1334 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1336 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1337 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1340 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1341 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1342 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1345 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1346 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1347 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1348 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1349 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1351 - Moose::Meta::Class
1352 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1354 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1355 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1356 when an object is constructed)
1357 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1359 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1360 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1361 when an object is constructed)
1362 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1363 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1364 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1367 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1369 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1370 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1372 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1374 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1375 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1376 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1378 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1379 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1380 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1382 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1384 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1385 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1387 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1388 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1391 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1392 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1395 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1396 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1397 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1399 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1400 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1404 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1405 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1406 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1408 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1409 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1412 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1413 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1414 with recommended workarounds.
1416 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1417 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1420 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1421 (yes, spelled like that).
1423 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1424 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1426 * Moose::Meta::Class
1427 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1428 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1430 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1432 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1433 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1434 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1435 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1436 instead. Reported by doy.
1438 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1440 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1441 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1444 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1445 message) is now deprecated.
1446 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1447 often got it wrong. For example:
1449 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1451 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1455 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1456 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1457 bite you in weird cases.
1459 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1460 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1461 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1462 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1464 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1465 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1469 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1472 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1473 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1476 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1477 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1479 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1480 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1483 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1485 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1486 - added tests for this (stevan)
1488 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1489 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1490 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1491 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1495 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1496 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1497 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1498 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1500 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1501 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1502 - added tests for this (rafl)
1504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1505 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1506 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1507 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1511 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1512 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1516 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1517 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1519 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1521 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1522 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1524 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1525 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1526 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1527 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1528 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1531 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1532 error message did not specify the attribute name
1535 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1537 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1539 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1540 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1541 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1543 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1544 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1547 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1549 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1550 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1551 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1552 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1554 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1556 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1557 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1558 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1559 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1562 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1563 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1565 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1566 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1567 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1568 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1569 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1571 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1572 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1573 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1574 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1575 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1578 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1579 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1580 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1581 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1582 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1584 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1585 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1586 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1587 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1588 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1589 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1591 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1592 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1594 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1595 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1596 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1597 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1600 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1603 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1607 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1608 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1610 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1611 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1612 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1613 guts. (nothingmuch).
1615 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1616 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1617 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1620 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1621 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1622 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1624 * Moose::Meta::Class
1625 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1628 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1629 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1631 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1632 * Moose::Unsweetened
1633 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1636 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1637 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1638 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1639 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1640 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1641 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1644 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1645 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1646 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1647 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1648 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1649 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1650 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1651 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1652 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1654 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1656 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1657 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1659 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1660 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1661 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1662 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1664 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1665 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1666 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1667 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1668 same methods for a single role did not work
1669 right (worked just fine with multiple
1671 - added test for this (stevan)
1673 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1674 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1675 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1678 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1679 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1680 - added test for this (t0m)
1683 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1684 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1685 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1687 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1688 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1689 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1690 - added test for this (t0m)
1692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1693 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1694 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1695 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1696 - added test for this (perigrin)
1699 - create method for constructing a role
1700 dynamically (Sartak)
1701 - added test for this (Sartak)
1702 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1703 - added test for this (Sartak)
1706 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1708 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1709 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1710 methods is useful (Sartak)
1712 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1713 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1714 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1717 * Moose::Meta::Class
1718 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1719 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1720 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1721 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1722 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1723 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1726 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1727 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1730 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1731 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1732 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1733 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1735 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1737 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1738 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1739 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1742 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1743 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1744 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1745 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1746 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1747 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1750 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1751 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1752 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1753 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1754 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1755 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1756 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1757 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1758 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1759 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1760 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1762 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1763 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1766 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1767 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1768 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1769 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1770 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1772 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1774 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1775 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1776 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1778 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1779 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1782 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1783 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1784 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1787 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1788 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1790 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1792 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1793 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1795 * Moose::Meta::Class
1796 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1797 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1798 a required attribute
1800 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1801 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1802 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1803 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1805 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1806 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1808 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1809 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1810 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1811 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1812 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1813 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1814 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1815 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1817 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1818 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1819 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1821 * Roles and role application
1822 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1823 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1824 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1825 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1826 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1828 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1829 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1832 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1833 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1834 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1835 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1836 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1839 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1840 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1841 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1842 changes in the Moose internals.
1844 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1846 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1849 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1850 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1851 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1852 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1855 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1856 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1857 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1860 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1861 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1862 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1863 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1864 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1865 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1866 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1867 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1868 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1869 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1870 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1871 constraint implementations.
1873 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1877 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1878 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1879 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1880 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1881 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1882 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1883 - added tests for this (rafl)
1885 * Moose::Meta::Class
1886 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1887 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1888 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1889 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1890 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1891 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1892 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1893 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1896 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1897 - added tests for this (thepler)
1899 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1900 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1901 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1902 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1905 * Moose::Meta::Class
1906 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1907 * Moose::Meta::Method
1910 * Moose::Error::Default
1911 * Moose::Error::Croak
1912 * Moose::Error::Confess
1913 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1914 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1915 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1916 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1917 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1918 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1920 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1922 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1923 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1925 * Moose::Unsweetened
1926 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1927 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1928 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1931 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1932 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1933 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1934 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1937 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1938 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1940 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1941 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1942 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1943 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1946 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1948 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1949 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1951 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1954 - Various bug fixes.
1956 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1957 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1959 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1961 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1962 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1963 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1964 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1965 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1966 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1969 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1970 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1972 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1973 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1974 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1977 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1978 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1979 dependency to 0.64_07.
1981 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1982 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1983 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1985 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1986 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1989 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1990 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1991 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1992 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1993 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1994 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1997 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1999 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2001 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2002 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2006 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2007 method when that method was provided by another role being
2008 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2009 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2011 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2013 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2014 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2016 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2017 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2018 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2019 - added test for this (t0m)
2021 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2022 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2023 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2025 - added test for this (t0m)
2028 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2029 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2030 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2033 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2034 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2036 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2038 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2039 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2041 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2042 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2043 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2045 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2116 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2117 ... this is not my day today ...
2119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2120 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2121 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2122 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2123 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2126 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2127 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2128 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2129 in this release, except the fact that it includes

2133 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2135 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2136 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2168 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2169 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2170 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2171 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2172 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2173 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2174 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2175 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2176 - added tests for this
2178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2179 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2289 XS based functionality is now optional
2290 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2743 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2744 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2745 types without having to explictly define them
2746 - added tests for this
2748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2749 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2750 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2752 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2753 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2754 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2755 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2756 - added tests for this
2757 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2758 a single type at different times instead of
2759 having to do it all in one place
2760 - added tests for this
2762 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2763 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2764 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2767 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2768 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2769 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2770 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2771 new features above (although you cannot add
2772 more type coercions for Union types)
2774 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2776 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2777 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2778 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2779 - added tests for this.
2780 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2781 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2782 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2783 - added tests for this
2784 - added docs for this
2786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2787 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2788 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2789 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2790 instead it will just return undef.
2791 - added docs for this
2793 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2805 with work correctly.
2806 - added tests for this
2809 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2810 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2813 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2814 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2815 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2817 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2849 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2852 - fixed how required methods are handled
2853 when they encounter overriden or modified
2854 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2855 - added tests for this
2857 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2858 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2859 the | always creates a union and so is
2860 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2861 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2863 - added more tests for this
2865 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2868 * Parameterized Types
2869 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2870 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2871 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2872 They can also be nested:
2873 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2874 And work with the type unions as well:
2875 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2877 * Better Framework Extendability
2878 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2879 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2880 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2881 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2884 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2885 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2886 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2887 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2890 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2892 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2893 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2927 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2928 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2929 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2931 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2932 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

2935 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2936 +++ with new features added as well +++
2938 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2952 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2953 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2955 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2956 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2957 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2958 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2972 (thanks to shlomif).
2974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2975 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2976 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2977 - added tests for this

2980 - added tests for this
2982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2983 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3014 - added tests for these
3016 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3017 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3020 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3021 to the 'handles' option.
3022 - added tests and docs for this

3025 (but not changing the handles option)
3026 - added tests and docs for this
3029 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3030 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3031 - adjusted tests for this
3033 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3034 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3035 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3041 the other side (perigrin)
3043 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3045 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3046 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3047 prototypes for functions
3048 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3049 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3059 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3062 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3063 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3064 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3065 - added tests for this
3067 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3069 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3087 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3088 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3090 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3091 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3093 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3094 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3095 so this release is just to fix that.
3098 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3099 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3100 (thanks to konobi for this)
3101 - added tests and docs
3103 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3104 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3107 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3108 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3109 - added tests for this

3111 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3112 functions to facilitate introspection.
3114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3115 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3116 to build the list of delegated methods
3117 correctly (and not override important
3118 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3120 - added tests and docs for this
3121 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3122 so that you can actually document your
3123 attributes and inspect them through the
3125 - added tests and docs for this
3127 * Moose::Meta::Class
3128 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3129 it will first look in for the class in the
3130 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3131 then default to just loading $name.
3132 - added tests and docs for this
3134 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3135 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3136 - added test for this
3139 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3140 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3141 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3142 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3144 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3145 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3148 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3150 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3151 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3152 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3155 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3156 !! for this developer release to work !!
3158 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3159 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3160 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3161 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3162 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3163 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3164 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3165 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3166 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3167 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3168 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3170 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3171 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3172 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3173 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3176 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3177 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3178 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3179 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3180 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3182 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3184 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3185 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3188 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3189 called unless they actually need to be.
3190 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3191 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3192 DEMOLISH method present.
3194 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3195 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3196 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3197 type constraint, which allows for a
3198 hand optimized version of the type
3199 constraint to be used when possible.
3200 - Any internally created type constraints
3201 now provide an optimized version as well.
3203 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3205 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3206 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3207 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3209 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3210 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3211 your class namespace of these exported
3214 * Moose::Meta::Class
3215 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3216 comes up during global destruction
3218 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3222 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3226 - changed how we do type checks so that
3227 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3230 - moved accessor generation methods to
3231 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3232 conform to the API changes from
3235 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3236 - changed how constraints are compiled
3237 so that we do less recursion and more
3238 iteration. This makes the type check
3240 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3244 - created this from methods formerly found in
3245 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3247 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3248 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3250 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3251 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3253 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3254 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3256 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3259 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3260 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3261 - added tests for this
3262 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3263 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3264 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3265 - removed tests for this
3267 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3269 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3270 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3271 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3274 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3275 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3276 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3278 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3279 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3280 comments for more info.
3283 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3284 asked questions and common problems
3286 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3287 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3288 - added tests for this
3290 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3291 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3292 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3293 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3295 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3296 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3299 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3300 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3301 is much appreciated :)
3302 - added tests for this
3304 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3305 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3306 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3309 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3310 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3312 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3314 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3315 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3319 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3320 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3321 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3323 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3325 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3328 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3329 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3330 keywords because we need to localize them.
3331 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3333 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3334 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3335 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3338 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3341 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3342 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3343 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3346 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3347 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3348 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3350 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3352 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3353 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3354 bottom of your class file.
3357 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3360 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3362 - improved error message when loading modules so
3363 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3364 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3365 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3368 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3369 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3370 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3372 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3373 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3375 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3376 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3377 turn them on for you.
3378 - added tests for this
3379 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3380 in Moose::Meta::Class
3383 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3384 automatically turned on for you.
3385 - added tests for this
3388 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3389 - added tests for this
3390 - added some more edge case tests

3402 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3403 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3406 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3407 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3408 - This release works in combination with
3409 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3410 release because it uses the a new
3411 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3412 complete Role implementation. It has
3413 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3414 the the previous CPAN version. This
3415 release also lacks good updated docs,
3416 the official release will have updated docs.
3419 - refactored the keyword exports
3420 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3421 accepts more than one Role at a time
3422 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3423 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3426 - refactored the keyword exports
3427 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3428 accepts more than one Role at a time
3430 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3431 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3432 string enumerations which can be used as
3434 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3437 - more careful checking of params to new()
3440 - much work done on the role composition
3441 - many new tests for conflict detection
3442 and composition edge cases

3467 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3468 thanks to chansen for this commit
