1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
7 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came
8 up three times today (perigrin)
9 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
10 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
12 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods to
13 prevent unnecessary introspection in Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
15 - Required methods of roles are now represented by
16 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
17 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting objects.
18 There's benefit for end-users in that unresolved conflicts
19 generate different, more instructive, errors, resolving Ovid's
22 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
24 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
27 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
28 during global destruction. This method has been made more
29 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
33 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
34 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
37 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
38 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
40 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
41 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
42 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
45 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
47 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
48 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
51 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
55 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
56 methods during global destruction (doy)
59 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
60 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
64 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
65 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
68 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
69 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
72 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
73 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
77 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
81 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
82 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
83 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
86 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
87 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
88 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
91 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
92 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
95 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
96 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
97 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
101 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
102 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
103 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
105 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
106 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
107 of the Moose core (Sartak)
110 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
113 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
114 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
115 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
119 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
120 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
123 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
125 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
128 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
129 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
132 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
133 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
136 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
137 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
140 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
143 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
145 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
146 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
150 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
153 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
156 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
157 * More deprecations and renamings
158 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
159 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
160 when an object is constructed)
163 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
164 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
165 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
167 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
168 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
169 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
170 feature, and it works again.
173 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
175 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
177 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
178 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
179 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
182 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
183 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
184 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
185 message. Test provided by perigrin.
187 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
188 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
189 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
190 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
191 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
194 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
195 metaclass object. (hdp)
197 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
198 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
199 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
200 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
201 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
202 point out this fact. (hdp)
204 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
205 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
207 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
208 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
212 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
213 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
214 called during instance construction were passed the
215 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
216 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
218 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
219 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
222 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
223 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
224 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
227 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
228 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
229 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
230 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
231 them, but they are not for "public" use.
234 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
236 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
237 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
238 when an object is constructed)
239 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
241 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
242 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
243 when an object is constructed)
244 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
245 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
246 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
249 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
251 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
252 * No changes from 0.72_01.
254 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
256 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
257 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
258 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
261 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
262 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
264 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
266 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
267 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
269 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
270 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
273 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
274 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
277 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
278 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
279 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
282 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
286 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
287 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
288 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
291 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
294 * Moose::Manual::Delta
295 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
296 with recommended workarounds.
298 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
299 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
302 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
303 (yes, spelled like that).
305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
306 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
309 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
310 changes in latest Class::MOP.
312 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
315 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
316 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
317 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
318 instead. Reported by doy.
320 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
322 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
323 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
325 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
326 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
327 message) is now deprecated.
328 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
329 often got it wrong. For example:
331 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
333 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
337 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
338 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
339 bite you in weird cases.
341 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
342 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
343 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
346 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
347 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
351 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
354 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
355 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
358 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
359 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
361 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
362 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
365 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
367 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
368 - added tests for this (stevan)
370 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
371 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
372 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
373 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
377 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
378 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
379 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
380 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
382 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
383 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
384 - added tests for this (rafl)
386 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
387 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
388 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
389 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
393 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
394 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
397 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
398 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
399 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
401 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
403 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
404 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
407 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
408 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
409 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
410 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
413 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
414 error message did not specify the attribute name
417 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
419 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
421 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
422 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
423 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
426 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
429 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
431 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
432 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
433 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
434 of fixes and formatting improvements.
436 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
438 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
439 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
440 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
441 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
444 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
445 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
448 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
449 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
450 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
451 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
453 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
454 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
455 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
456 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
457 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
460 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
461 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
462 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
463 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
464 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
466 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
467 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
468 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
469 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
470 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
471 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
474 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
476 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
477 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
478 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
479 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
481 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
482 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
485 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
489 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
490 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
492 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
493 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
494 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
497 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
499 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
502 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
503 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
504 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
507 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
510 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
511 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
513 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
515 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
518 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
519 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
520 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
521 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
522 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
523 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
526 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
527 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
528 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
529 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
530 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
531 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
532 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
533 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
534 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
536 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
538 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
539 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
542 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
543 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
544 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
546 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
547 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
548 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
549 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
550 same methods for a single role did not work
551 right (worked just fine with multiple
553 - added test for this (stevan)
555 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
556 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
557 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
560 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
561 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
562 - added test for this (t0m)
565 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
566 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
567 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
570 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
571 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
572 - added test for this (t0m)
574 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
575 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
576 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
577 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
578 - added test for this (perigrin)
581 - create method for constructing a role
583 - added test for this (Sartak)
584 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
585 - added test for this (Sartak)
588 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
590 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
591 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
592 methods is useful (Sartak)
594 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
595 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
596 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
600 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
601 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
602 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
603 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
604 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
605 - added tests for this (jdv79)
608 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
609 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
611 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
612 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
613 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
614 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
615 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
617 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
619 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
620 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
621 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
624 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
625 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
626 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
627 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
628 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
629 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
633 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
634 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
635 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
636 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
637 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
638 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
639 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
640 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
641 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
642 future. (jnapiorkowski)
644 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
645 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
648 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
649 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
650 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
651 type. (jnapiorkowski)
652 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
654 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
656 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
657 predicate, and link to more details sections in
658 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
660 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
661 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
664 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
665 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
666 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
669 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
670 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
672 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
674 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
675 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
678 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
679 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
682 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
683 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
684 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
685 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
687 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
688 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
691 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
692 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
693 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
694 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
695 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
696 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
697 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
699 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
700 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
701 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
703 * Roles and role application
704 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
705 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
706 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
707 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
708 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
710 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
711 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
714 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
715 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
716 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
717 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
718 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
721 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
722 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
723 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
724 changes in the Moose internals.
726 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
727 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
728 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
731 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
732 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
733 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
734 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
736 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
737 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
738 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
739 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
742 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
743 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
744 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
745 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
746 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
747 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
748 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
749 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
750 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
751 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
752 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
753 constraint implementations.
755 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
759 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
760 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
761 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
762 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
763 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
764 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
765 - added tests for this (rafl)
768 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
769 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
770 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
771 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
772 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
773 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
774 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
775 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
778 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
779 - added tests for this (thepler)
781 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
782 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
783 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
784 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
789 * Moose::Meta::Method
792 * Moose::Error::Default
793 * Moose::Error::Croak
794 * Moose::Error::Confess
795 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
796 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
797 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
798 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
799 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
800 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
802 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
804 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
805 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
808 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
809 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
810 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
813 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
814 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
815 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
816 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
819 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
820 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
822 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
823 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
824 several major changes in this release of Moose.
825 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
828 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
830 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
831 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
833 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
838 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
839 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

843 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
844 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
845 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
846 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
847 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
848 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
850 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
851 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
852 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
854 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

856 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
859 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
860 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
861 dependency to 0.64_07.
863 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
864 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
865 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
867 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
868 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
871 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
872 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
873 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
874 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
875 coincidental exception. (t0m).
876 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
878 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
879 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
881 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
883 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
884 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
888 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
889 method when that method was provided by another role being
890 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
891 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
893 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
895 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
896 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
898 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
899 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
900 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
901 - added test for this (t0m)
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
904 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
905 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
907 - added test for this (t0m)
910 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
911 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
912 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
915 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
916 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
918 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
920 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
923 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
924 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
925 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
927 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
928 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
931 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
932 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
933 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
934 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
938 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
939 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
940 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
943 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
944 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
945 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
946 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
949 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
953 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
954 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
955 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
969 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
972 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
973 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
975 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
976 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
977 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

996 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
998 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
999 ... this is not my day today ...
1001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1002 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1003 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1004 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1005 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1008 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1009 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1010 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1011 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1012 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1015 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1017 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1018 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1019 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1020 this is not ever something you want to do
1021 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1022 - added tests for this (stevan)
1025 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1027 - added test for this

1047 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1050 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1051 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1052 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1053 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1054 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1055 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1056 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1057 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 - added tests for this
1060 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1061 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1062 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1063 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1065 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1134 which was causing the indexer to choke
1136 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1137 (late night release engineering)--
1139 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1140 changes in this release
1142 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

1153 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

1158 method for immutablization to check if the
1159 destructor object even needs to be created
1162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1163 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1164 - added more descriptive error message to help
1165 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1166 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1168 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1170 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1171 XS based functionality is now optional
1172 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1173 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1174 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1176 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1177 to take care of this, mostly we added
1178 support for the package_name and name
1179 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1180 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1181 support regexp matching of names
1182 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1185 is currently not supported in roles,
1186 but, ... patches welcome

1188 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1189 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1192 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1193 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1194 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1195 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1196 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1197 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1198 - added test for this
1200 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1201 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an

1222 called by the inlined immutable
1224 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1227 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1228 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1229 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1232 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1236 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1237 causing occasional cpantester failures

1244 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1247 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1248 ->body when looping through the
1249 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1251 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1252 eating the $@ values, and so not
1253 working correctly, it still kind of
1254 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1255 - added tests for this
1257 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1258 - added new recipe for immutable

1273 since Module::Install has done that.
1275 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1277 drink more coffee before
1278 doing release engineering
1280 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1281 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1282 modules. This fixes that.

1314 - added test for this
1316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1395 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1397 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1437 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1441 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1442 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1443 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1445 - added more delegation tests
1446 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1447 support traits and their introspection.

1604 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1605 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

1688 - added tests for this
1691 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1692 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1734 - fixed how required methods are handled
1735 when they encounter overriden or modified
1736 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1737 - added tests for this
1739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1740 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1741 the | always creates a union and so is
1742 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

1745 - added more tests for this
1747 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1750 * Parameterized Types
1751 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1752 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1753 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1754 They can also be nested:
1755 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1756 And work with the type unions as well:
1757 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1759 * Better Framework Extendability
1760 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1761 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1762 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1763 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1766 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1767 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1768 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1769 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1772 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1774 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2004 so that you can actually document your
2005 attributes and inspect them through the

2009 * Moose::Meta::Class
2010 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2011 it will first look in for the class in the
2012 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2013 then default to just loading $name.
2014 - added tests and docs for this
2016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2017 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2018 - added test for this
2021 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2023 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2024 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2026 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2027 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2030 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2032 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2033 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2034 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2037 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2038 !! for this developer release to work !!
2040 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2041 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2042 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2043 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2044 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2045 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2046 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2047 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2048 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2049 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2050 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2052 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2053 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2054 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2055 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2058 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2060 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2061 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2062 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2064 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2066 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2067 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2070 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2071 called unless they actually need to be.
2072 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2073 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2074 DEMOLISH method present.
2076 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2078 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2079 type constraint, which allows for a
2080 hand optimized version of the type
2081 constraint to be used when possible.
2082 - Any internally created type constraints
2083 now provide an optimized version as well.
2085 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2087 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2088 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2089 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2092 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2093 your class namespace of these exported
2096 * Moose::Meta::Class
2097 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2098 comes up during global destruction
2100 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2104 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2108 - changed how we do type checks so that
2109 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2112 - moved accessor generation methods to
2113 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2114 conform to the API changes from
2117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2118 - changed how constraints are compiled
2119 so that we do less recursion and more
2120 iteration. This makes the type check
2122 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2126 - created this from methods formerly found in
2127 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2129 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2130 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2133 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2136 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2138 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2141 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2142 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2143 - added tests for this
2144 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2145 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2146 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2147 - removed tests for this
2149 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2151 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2152 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2153 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2156 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2157 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2158 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2160 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2161 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2162 comments for more info.
2165 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2166 asked questions and common problems
2168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2169 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2170 - added tests for this
2172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2173 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2174 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2175 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2177 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2178 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2181 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2182 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2183 is much appreciated :)
2184 - added tests for this
2186 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2187 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2188 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2191 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2192 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2194 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2196 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2197 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2201 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2202 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2203 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2205 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2207 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2210 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2211 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2212 keywords because we need to localize them.
2213 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2215 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2216 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2217 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2220 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2224 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2225 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2228 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2229 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2230 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2232 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2234 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2235 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2236 bottom of your class file.
2239 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2242 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2244 - improved error message when loading modules so
2245 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2246 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2247 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2250 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2251 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2252 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2254 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2255 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2257 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2258 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2259 turn them on for you.
2260 - added tests for this
2261 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2262 in Moose::Meta::Class
2265 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2266 automatically turned on for you.

2288 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2289 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2290 - This release works in combination with
2291 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2292 release because it uses the a new
2293 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2294 complete Role implementation. It has
2295 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2296 the the previous CPAN version. This
2297 release also lacks good updated docs,
2298 the official release will have updated docs.
2301 - refactored the keyword exports
2302 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2303 accepts more than one Role at a time
2304 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2305 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2308 - refactored the keyword exports
2309 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2310 accepts more than one Role at a time
2312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2313 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2314 string enumerations which can be used as
2316 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2319 - more careful checking of params to new()
2322 - much work done on the role composition
2323 - many new tests for conflict detection
2324 and composition edge cases
2325 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2326 looking at the tests
2328 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2329 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2330 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2332 * Moose::Meta::Class
2333 - some small changes to support the new
2335 - some small additions to support Roles
2337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2338 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2340 - some small changes to support the new
2342 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2343 with the 'handles' option
2344 - added several tests for this
2345 - no docs for this yet
2347 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2349 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2350 thanks to chansen for this commit
2351 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2352 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2353 on a per-attribute basis
2354 - added tests for this
2355 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2356 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2357 experimental feature and probably not finished

2359 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2360 - added tests for this

2422 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2424 - added test for this
2427 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2428 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
