2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
10 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
11 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
12 details. (Dave Rolsky)
14 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
15 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
16 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
17 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
18 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
22 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
23 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
24 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
25 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
26 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originall defined
29 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
33 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
34 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
36 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
39 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
43 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
44 immutable classes). (mo)
46 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
47 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
48 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
50 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
54 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
56 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
58 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
62 * Fix some indexing issues.
64 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
66 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
70 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
71 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
72 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
73 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
74 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
76 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
77 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
82 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
83 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
84 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
85 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
87 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
88 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
89 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
93 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
94 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
97 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
101 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
102 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
103 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
104 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
107 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
111 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
114 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
118 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
119 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
120 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
122 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
126 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
127 policy. (Chris Prather)
129 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
130 on this new support policy. (doy)
134 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
135 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
136 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
138 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
139 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
141 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
145 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
146 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
147 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
148 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
151 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
155 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
156 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
159 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
163 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
164 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
166 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
167 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
171 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
172 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
173 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
174 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
175 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
176 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
178 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
179 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
181 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
182 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
183 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
184 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
186 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
187 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
189 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
194 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
195 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
197 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
201 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
202 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
203 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
205 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
209 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
210 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
211 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
213 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
214 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
217 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
218 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
221 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
222 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
223 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
225 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
226 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
231 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
232 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
233 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
234 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
236 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
237 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
239 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
240 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
242 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
243 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
244 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
245 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
247 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
248 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
249 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
252 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
253 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
254 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
255 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
257 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
258 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
261 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
262 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
263 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
265 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
269 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
270 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
271 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
273 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
274 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
275 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
278 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
279 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
280 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
282 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
283 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
284 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
286 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
287 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
291 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
292 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
293 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
295 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
296 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
297 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
298 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
300 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
304 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
305 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
306 value is a reference.
308 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
309 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
311 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
315 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
316 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
317 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
319 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
323 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
324 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
328 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
329 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
330 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
332 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
333 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
334 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
336 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
340 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
342 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
346 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
348 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
349 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
354 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
355 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
357 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
358 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
359 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
360 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
361 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
363 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
364 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
365 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
366 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
368 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
372 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
373 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
378 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
380 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
382 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
387 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
389 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
393 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
394 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
395 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
397 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
398 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
399 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
400 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
402 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
403 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
404 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
405 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
406 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
409 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
414 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
415 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
416 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
417 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
418 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
421 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
425 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
428 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
429 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
433 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
434 function (not just method). (doy)
438 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
439 and aren't easily installable/testable.
441 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
445 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
446 to be overridden more easily (doy).
448 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
452 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
453 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
455 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
459 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
460 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
461 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
463 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
467 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
468 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
469 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
471 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
472 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
476 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
477 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
479 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
480 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
484 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
485 is applied to a class (t0m).
487 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
488 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
490 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
493 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
494 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
496 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
497 be much more robust. (doy)
499 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
501 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
504 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
508 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
509 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
511 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
515 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
516 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
518 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
521 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
522 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
523 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
525 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
526 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
527 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
530 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
532 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
536 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
537 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
541 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
543 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
547 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
548 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
552 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
553 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
557 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
559 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
563 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
564 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
568 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
569 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
573 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
574 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
576 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
580 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
581 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
582 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
585 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
589 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
590 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
591 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
592 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
594 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
598 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
599 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
600 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
604 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
607 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
612 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
613 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
617 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
618 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
620 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
621 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
622 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
623 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
625 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
629 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
633 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
634 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
636 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
637 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
638 - Moose::Util::does_role
639 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
640 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
641 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
643 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
647 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
648 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
649 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
652 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
656 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
657 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
660 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
664 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
665 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
668 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
672 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
674 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
675 class. (Dave Rolsky).
677 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
678 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
679 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
681 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
682 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
683 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
686 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
687 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
689 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
690 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
691 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
693 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
695 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
696 substr et al, again. (sorear)
698 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
700 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
703 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
704 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
706 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
707 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
709 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
710 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
711 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
712 dependencies installed.
714 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
715 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
718 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
720 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
724 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
726 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
727 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
728 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
730 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
731 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
732 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
734 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
735 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
738 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
739 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
740 others. (nothingmuch)
742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
743 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
744 remove_accessors. (doy)
746 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
747 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
748 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
751 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
753 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
755 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
756 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
759 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
760 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
762 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
763 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
765 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
767 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
768 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
772 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
773 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
774 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
775 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
777 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
779 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
780 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
781 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
782 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
783 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
786 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
787 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
788 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
789 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
790 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
792 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
793 which were not receiving the value of
794 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
795 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
796 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
797 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
801 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
802 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
803 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
804 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
805 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
809 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
810 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
811 - added tests for this (Stevan)
814 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
815 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
816 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
819 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
820 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
821 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
823 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
824 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
825 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
828 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
829 class if you pass it options for
830 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
831 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
832 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
833 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
834 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
835 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
836 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
837 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
838 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
840 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
841 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
842 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
843 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
844 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
847 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
849 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
850 existing delegation API. (hdp)
852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
853 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
854 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
855 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
856 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
857 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
860 * Moose::Error::Croak
861 * Moose::Error::Confess
862 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
863 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
866 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
869 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
870 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
871 installing a broken sub. (doy)
874 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
877 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
878 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
879 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
881 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
882 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
883 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
884 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
885 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
887 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
888 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
891 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
893 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
894 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
897 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
898 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
900 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
902 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
903 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
905 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
906 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
907 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
908 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
909 using it for new code!
911 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
912 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
913 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
914 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
916 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
917 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
918 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
919 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
920 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
921 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
922 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
923 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
926 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
929 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
930 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
934 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
936 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
937 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
938 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
942 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
943 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
946 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
947 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
950 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
951 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
954 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
956 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
957 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
958 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
959 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
961 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
963 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
967 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
968 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
970 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
971 associated_methods. (hdp)
972 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
973 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
974 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
975 misspelled) arguments
977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
978 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
979 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
980 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
984 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
986 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
990 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
991 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
994 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
995 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
997 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
999 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1000 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1002 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1003 * Moose::Manual::Types
1004 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1005 string parsing rathole (mst)
1007 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1008 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1009 using plain objects instead
1011 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1012 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1013 that's what we need.
1015 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1016 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1017 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1018 three times today (perigrin)
1019 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1020 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1023 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1024 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1025 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1028 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1029 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1030 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1031 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1032 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1033 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1036 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1037 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1038 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1039 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1042 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1044 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1047 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1049 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1052 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1053 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1054 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1058 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1059 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1062 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1063 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1065 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1066 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1067 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1069 * Moose::Unsweetened
1070 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1072 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1073 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1076 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1080 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1081 methods during global destruction (doy)
1083 * Moose::Meta::Class
1084 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1085 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1086 consumption (Sartak)
1088 * Moose::Meta::Class
1089 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1090 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1093 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1094 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1097 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1098 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1100 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1102 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1106 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1107 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1108 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1111 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1112 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1113 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1116 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1118 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1120 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1123 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1124 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1125 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1126 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1129 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1130 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1133 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1136 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1137 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1138 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1142 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1143 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1145 * Moose::Meta::Class
1146 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1148 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1150 * Moose::Meta::Class
1151 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1152 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1155 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1156 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1159 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1160 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1163 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1166 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1168 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1169 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1172 * Moose::Meta::Class
1173 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1176 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1179 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1180 * More deprecations and renamings
1181 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1182 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1183 when an object is constructed)
1186 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1187 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1188 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1191 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1192 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1193 feature, and it works again.
1196 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1198 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1200 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1201 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1202 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1205 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1206 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1207 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1208 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1210 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1211 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1212 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1213 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1214 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1217 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1218 metaclass object. (hdp)
1220 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1221 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1222 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1223 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1224 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1225 point out this fact. (hdp)
1227 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1228 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1230 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1231 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1233 * Moose::Meta::Class
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1235 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1236 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1237 called during instance construction were passed the
1238 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1239 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1241 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1242 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1245 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1246 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1247 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1250 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1251 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1252 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1253 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1254 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1256 - Moose::Meta::Class
1257 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1259 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1260 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1261 when an object is constructed)
1262 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1264 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1265 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1266 when an object is constructed)
1267 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1268 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1269 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1272 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1274 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1275 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1277 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1279 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1280 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1281 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1283 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1284 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1285 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1287 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1289 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1290 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1293 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1296 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1297 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1300 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1301 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1302 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1305 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1309 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1310 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1311 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1314 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1317 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1318 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1319 with recommended workarounds.
1321 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1322 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1324 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1325 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1326 (yes, spelled like that).
1328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1329 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1331 * Moose::Meta::Class
1332 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1333 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1335 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1337 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1338 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1339 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1340 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1341 instead. Reported by doy.
1343 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1345 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1346 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1348 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1349 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1350 message) is now deprecated.
1351 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1352 often got it wrong. For example:
1354 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1356 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1360 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1361 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1362 bite you in weird cases.
1364 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1365 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1366 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1367 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1369 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1370 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1374 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1377 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1378 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1381 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1382 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1384 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1385 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1388 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1389 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1390 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1391 - added tests for this (stevan)
1393 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1394 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1395 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1396 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1400 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1401 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1402 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1403 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1405 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1406 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1407 - added tests for this (rafl)
1409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1410 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1411 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1412 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1416 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1417 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1420 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1421 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1422 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1424 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1426 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1427 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1429 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1430 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1431 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1432 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1433 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1436 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1437 error message did not specify the attribute name
1440 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1442 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1444 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1445 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1446 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1449 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1452 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1454 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1455 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1456 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1457 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1459 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1461 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1462 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1463 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1464 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1466 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1467 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1468 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1470 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1471 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1472 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1473 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1474 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1477 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1478 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1479 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1480 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1483 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1484 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1485 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1486 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1487 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1489 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1490 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1491 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1492 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1493 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1494 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1496 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1497 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1499 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1500 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1501 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1502 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1505 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1508 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1512 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1513 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1515 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1516 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1517 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1518 guts. (nothingmuch).
1520 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1521 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1522 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1525 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1526 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1527 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1529 * Moose::Meta::Class
1530 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1533 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1534 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1536 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1537 * Moose::Unsweetened
1538 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1541 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1542 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1543 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1544 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1545 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1546 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1549 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1550 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1551 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1552 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1553 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1554 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1555 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1556 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1557 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1559 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1561 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1562 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1564 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1565 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1566 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1567 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1569 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1570 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1571 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1572 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1573 same methods for a single role did not work
1574 right (worked just fine with multiple
1576 - added test for this (stevan)
1578 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1579 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1580 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1583 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1584 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1585 - added test for this (t0m)
1588 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1589 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1590 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1593 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1594 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1595 - added test for this (t0m)
1597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1598 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1599 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1600 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1601 - added test for this (perigrin)
1604 - create method for constructing a role
1605 dynamically (Sartak)
1606 - added test for this (Sartak)
1607 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1608 - added test for this (Sartak)
1611 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1613 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1614 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1615 methods is useful (Sartak)
1617 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1618 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1619 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1622 * Moose::Meta::Class
1623 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1624 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1625 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1626 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1627 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1628 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1631 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1632 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1634 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1635 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1636 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1637 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1638 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1640 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1642 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1643 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1644 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1647 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1648 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1649 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1650 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1651 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1652 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1656 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1657 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1658 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1659 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1660 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1661 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1662 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1663 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1664 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1665 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1667 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1668 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1671 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1672 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1673 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1674 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1675 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1677 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1679 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1680 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1681 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1683 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1684 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1686 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1687 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1688 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1689 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1693 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1695 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1697 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1698 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1700 * Moose::Meta::Class
1701 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1702 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1703 a required attribute
1705 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1706 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1707 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1708 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1710 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1711 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1713 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1714 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1715 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1716 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1717 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1718 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1719 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1720 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1722 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1723 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1724 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1726 * Roles and role application
1727 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1728 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1729 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1730 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1731 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1733 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1734 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1738 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1739 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1740 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1741 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1744 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1745 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1746 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1747 changes in the Moose internals.
1749 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1751 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1755 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1756 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1757 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1760 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1761 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1762 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1765 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1766 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1767 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1768 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1769 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1770 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1771 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1772 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1773 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1774 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1775 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1776 constraint implementations.
1778 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1782 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1783 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1784 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1785 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1786 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1787 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1788 - added tests for this (rafl)
1790 * Moose::Meta::Class
1791 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1792 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1793 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1794 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1795 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1796 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1797 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1798 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1801 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1802 - added tests for this (thepler)
1804 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1805 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1806 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1807 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1810 * Moose::Meta::Class
1811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1812 * Moose::Meta::Method
1815 * Moose::Error::Default
1816 * Moose::Error::Croak
1817 * Moose::Error::Confess
1818 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1819 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1820 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1821 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1822 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1823 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1825 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1827 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1828 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 * Moose::Unsweetened
1831 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1832 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1833 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1835 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1836 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1837 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1838 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1839 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1842 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1843 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1845 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1846 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1847 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1848 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1851 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1853 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1854 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1856 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1859 - Various bug fixes.
1861 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1862 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1864 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1866 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1867 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1868 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1869 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1870 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1871 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1873 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1874 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1875 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1878 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1879 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1882 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1883 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1884 dependency to 0.64_07.
1886 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1887 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1888 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1891 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1894 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1895 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1896 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1897 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1898 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1899 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1901 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1902 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1904 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1906 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1907 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1911 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1912 method when that method was provided by another role being
1913 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1914 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1916 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1918 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1919 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1921 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1922 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1923 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1924 - added test for this (t0m)
1926 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1927 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1928 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1930 - added test for this (t0m)
1933 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1934 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1935 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1938 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1939 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1941 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1943 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1944 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1946 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1947 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1948 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1950 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1951 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1954 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1955 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1956 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1957 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1961 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1962 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1963 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1967 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1968 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1969 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1972 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1976 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1977 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1978 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1980 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1982 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1983 created so that the process can be more easily
1984 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1986 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1987 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1988 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1989 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1991 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1992 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1995 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1996 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1998 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1999 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2000 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2002 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2003 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2004 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2006 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2007 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2010 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2013 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2014 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2018 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2019 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2021 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2022 ... this is not my day today ...
2024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2025 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2026 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2027 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2028 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2031 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2032 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2033 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2034 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2035 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2038 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2040 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2041 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2042 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2043 this is not ever something you want to do

2073 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2074 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2075 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2076 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2077 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2078 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2079 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2080 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2081 - added tests for this
2083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2084 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2194 XS based functionality is now optional
2195 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2418 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2420 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2734 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2736 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2753 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2754 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2757 - fixed how required methods are handled
2758 when they encounter overriden or modified
2759 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2760 - added tests for this
2762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2763 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2764 the | always creates a union and so is
2765 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2766 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2768 - added more tests for this
2770 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2773 * Parameterized Types
2774 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2775 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2776 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2777 They can also be nested:
2778 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2779 And work with the type unions as well:
2780 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2782 * Better Framework Extendability
2783 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2784 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2785 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2786 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2789 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2790 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2791 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2792 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2795 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2797 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2840 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2841 +++ with new features added as well +++
2843 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2847 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2849 - added tests for this
2851 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2852 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier

2857 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2858 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2860 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2861 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

2877 (thanks to shlomif).
2879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2880 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2881 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2882 - added tests for this

2919 - added tests for these
2921 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2922 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2925 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2930 (but not changing the handles option)
2931 - added tests and docs for this
2934 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2935 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2946 the other side (perigrin)
2948 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2949 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2950 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2951 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2952 prototypes for functions
2953 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2954 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2964 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2967 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2968 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2969 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2970 - added tests for this
2972 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2974 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2993 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2995 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2996 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2998 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2999 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3000 so this release is just to fix that.
3003 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3004 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3005 (thanks to konobi for this)
3006 - added tests and docs
3008 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3009 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3012 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3013 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3014 - added tests for this
3015 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3016 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3017 functions to facilitate introspection.
3019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3020 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3021 to build the list of delegated methods
3022 correctly (and not override important
3023 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3025 - added tests and docs for this
3026 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3027 so that you can actually document your
3028 attributes and inspect them through the
3030 - added tests and docs for this
3032 * Moose::Meta::Class
3033 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3034 it will first look in for the class in the
3035 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3036 then default to just loading $name.
3037 - added tests and docs for this
3039 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3040 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3041 - added test for this
3044 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3045 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3046 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3047 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3049 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3050 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3053 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3055 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3056 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3057 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3060 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3061 !! for this developer release to work !!
3063 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3064 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3065 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3066 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3067 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3068 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3069 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3070 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3071 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3072 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3073 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3075 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3076 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3077 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3078 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3081 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3082 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3083 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3084 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3085 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3087 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3089 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3090 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3093 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3094 called unless they actually need to be.
3095 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3096 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3097 DEMOLISH method present.
3099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3101 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3102 type constraint, which allows for a
3103 hand optimized version of the type
3104 constraint to be used when possible.
3105 - Any internally created type constraints
3106 now provide an optimized version as well.
3108 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3110 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3111 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3112 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3115 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3116 your class namespace of these exported
3119 * Moose::Meta::Class
3120 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3121 comes up during global destruction
3123 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3127 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3131 - changed how we do type checks so that
3132 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3135 - moved accessor generation methods to
3136 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3137 conform to the API changes from
3140 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3141 - changed how constraints are compiled
3142 so that we do less recursion and more
3143 iteration. This makes the type check
3145 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3148 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3149 - created this from methods formerly found in
3150 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3152 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3153 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3156 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3159 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3161 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3164 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3165 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3166 - added tests for this
3167 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3168 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3169 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3170 - removed tests for this
3172 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3174 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3175 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3176 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3179 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3180 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3181 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3183 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3184 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3185 comments for more info.
3188 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3189 asked questions and common problems
3191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3192 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3193 - added tests for this
3195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3196 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3197 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3198 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3200 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3201 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3204 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3205 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3206 is much appreciated :)
3207 - added tests for this
3209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3210 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3211 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3214 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3215 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3217 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3219 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3220 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3224 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3225 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3226 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3228 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3230 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3233 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3234 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3235 keywords because we need to localize them.
3236 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3238 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3239 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3240 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3243 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3247 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3248 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3251 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3252 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3253 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3255 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3257 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3258 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3259 bottom of your class file.
3262 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3265 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3267 - improved error message when loading modules so
3268 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3269 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3270 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3273 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3274 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3275 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3277 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3278 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3280 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3281 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3282 turn them on for you.
3283 - added tests for this
3284 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3285 in Moose::Meta::Class
3288 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3289 automatically turned on for you.
3290 - added tests for this
3293 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3294 - added tests for this
3295 - added some more edge case tests

3308 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3311 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3312 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3313 - This release works in combination with
3314 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3315 release because it uses the a new
3316 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3317 complete Role implementation. It has
3318 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3319 the the previous CPAN version. This
3320 release also lacks good updated docs,
3321 the official release will have updated docs.
3324 - refactored the keyword exports
3325 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3326 accepts more than one Role at a time
3327 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3328 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3331 - refactored the keyword exports
3332 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3333 accepts more than one Role at a time
3335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3336 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3337 string enumerations which can be used as
3339 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3342 - more careful checking of params to new()
3345 - much work done on the role composition
3346 - many new tests for conflict detection
3347 and composition edge cases
3348 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3349 looking at the tests
3351 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3352 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3353 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3355 * Moose::Meta::Class
3356 - some small changes to support the new
3358 - some small additions to support Roles
3360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3361 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3363 - some small changes to support the new
3365 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3366 with the 'handles' option
3367 - added several tests for this
3368 - no docs for this yet
3370 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3372 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3373 thanks to chansen for this commit
3374 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3375 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3376 on a per-attribute basis
3377 - added tests for this
3378 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3379 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3380 experimental feature and probably not finished
3381 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3382 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3383 - added tests for this
3386 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3393 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3394 thanks to chansen for this commit

3397 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3398 construct_instance (for the better)
3400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3401 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3402 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
