1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
9 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
10 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
12 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
13 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
14 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
18 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
19 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
20 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
22 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
23 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
24 reinitialized metaclass). This should make Moose::Util::MetaRole not so
25 sensitive about when it's able to be called without messing up things
26 that may already be set up in the metaclass. (doy)
30 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
31 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
34 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
38 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
39 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
40 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
42 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
46 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
47 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
52 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
53 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
55 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
56 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
57 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
59 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
63 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
65 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
69 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
71 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
72 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
77 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
78 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
80 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
81 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
82 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
83 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
86 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
87 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
88 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
89 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
91 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
95 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
96 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
101 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
103 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
105 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
110 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
112 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
116 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
117 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
118 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
120 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
121 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
122 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
123 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
125 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
126 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
127 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
128 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
129 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
132 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
137 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
138 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
139 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
140 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
141 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
144 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
148 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
151 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
152 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
156 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
157 function (not just method). (doy)
161 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
162 and aren't easily installable/testable.
164 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
168 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
169 to be overridden more easily (doy).
171 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
175 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
176 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
178 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
182 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
183 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
184 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
186 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
190 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
191 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
192 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
194 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
195 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
199 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
200 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
202 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
203 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
207 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
208 is applied to a class (t0m).
210 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
211 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
213 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
216 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
217 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
219 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
220 be much more robust. (doy)
222 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
224 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
227 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
231 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
232 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
234 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
238 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
239 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
241 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
244 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
245 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
246 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
248 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
249 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
250 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
253 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
255 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
259 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
260 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
264 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
266 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
271 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
275 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
276 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
280 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
282 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
286 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
287 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
291 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
292 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
296 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
297 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
299 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
303 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
304 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
305 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
308 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
312 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
313 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
314 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
315 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
317 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
321 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
322 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
323 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
327 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
330 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
335 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
336 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
340 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
341 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
343 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
344 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
345 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
346 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
348 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
352 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
356 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
357 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
359 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
360 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
361 - Moose::Util::does_role
362 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
363 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
364 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
366 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
370 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
371 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
372 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
375 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
379 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
380 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
383 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
387 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
388 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
391 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
395 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
397 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
398 class. (Dave Rolsky).
400 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
401 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
402 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
404 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
405 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
406 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
409 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
410 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
412 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
413 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
414 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
416 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
418 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
419 substr et al, again. (sorear)
421 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
423 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
426 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
427 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
429 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
430 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
432 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
433 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
434 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
435 dependencies installed.
437 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
438 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
441 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
443 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
447 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
450 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
451 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
453 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
454 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
455 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
457 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
458 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
461 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
462 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
463 others. (nothingmuch)
465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
466 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
467 remove_accessors. (doy)
469 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
470 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
471 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
474 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
476 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
478 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
479 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
482 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
483 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
485 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
486 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
488 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
490 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
491 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
495 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
496 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
497 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
498 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
500 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
502 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
503 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
504 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
505 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
506 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
509 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
510 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
511 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
512 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
513 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
515 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
516 which were not receiving the value of
517 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
518 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
519 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
520 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
524 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
525 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
526 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
527 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
528 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
531 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
532 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
533 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
534 - added tests for this (Stevan)
537 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
538 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
539 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
542 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
543 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
544 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
547 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
548 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
551 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
552 class if you pass it options for
553 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
554 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
555 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
556 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
557 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
558 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
559 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
560 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
561 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
563 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
564 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
565 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
566 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
567 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
570 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
571 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
572 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
573 existing delegation API. (hdp)
575 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
576 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
577 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
578 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
579 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
580 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
583 * Moose::Error::Croak
584 * Moose::Error::Confess
585 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
586 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
589 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
592 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
593 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
594 installing a broken sub. (doy)
597 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
600 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
601 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
602 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
604 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
605 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
606 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
607 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
608 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
610 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
611 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
614 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
616 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
617 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
620 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
621 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
625 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
626 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
629 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
630 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
631 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
632 using it for new code!
634 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
635 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
636 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
637 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
639 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
640 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
641 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
642 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
643 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
644 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
645 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
646 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
649 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
652 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
653 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
657 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
659 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
660 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
661 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
664 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
665 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
666 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
669 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
670 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
672 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
673 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
674 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
677 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
679 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
680 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
681 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
682 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
684 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
686 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
690 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
691 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
693 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
694 associated_methods. (hdp)
695 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
696 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
697 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
698 misspelled) arguments
700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
701 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
702 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
703 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
706 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
707 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
709 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
712 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
713 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
714 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
717 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
718 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
720 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
722 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
723 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
725 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
726 * Moose::Manual::Types
727 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
728 string parsing rathole (mst)
730 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
731 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
732 using plain objects instead
734 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
735 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
738 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
740 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
741 three times today (perigrin)
742 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
743 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
746 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
747 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
748 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
751 - A role's required methods are now represented by
752 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
753 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
754 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
755 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
756 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
759 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
760 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
761 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
762 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
765 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
767 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
770 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
772 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
775 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
776 during global destruction. This method has been made more
777 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
781 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
782 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
785 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
786 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
788 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
789 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
790 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
793 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
795 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
796 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
799 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
803 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
804 methods during global destruction (doy)
807 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
808 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
812 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
813 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
816 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
817 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
820 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
821 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
823 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
825 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
829 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
830 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
831 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
834 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
835 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
836 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
839 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
841 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
842 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
843 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
846 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
847 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
848 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
849 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
851 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
852 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
853 of the Moose core (Sartak)
856 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
859 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
860 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
861 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
865 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
866 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
869 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
871 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
874 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
875 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
878 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
879 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
882 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
883 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
886 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
889 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
891 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
892 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
896 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
898 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
899 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
902 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
903 * More deprecations and renamings
904 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
905 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
906 when an object is constructed)
909 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
910 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
911 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
914 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
915 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
916 feature, and it works again.
919 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
921 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
923 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
924 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
925 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
927 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
928 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
929 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
930 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
931 message. Test provided by perigrin.
933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
934 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
935 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
936 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
937 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
940 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
941 metaclass object. (hdp)
943 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
944 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
945 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
946 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
947 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
948 point out this fact. (hdp)
950 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
951 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
953 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
954 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
958 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
959 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
960 called during instance construction were passed the
961 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
962 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
964 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
965 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
968 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
969 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
970 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
973 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
974 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
975 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
976 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
977 them, but they are not for "public" use.
980 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
982 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
983 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
984 when an object is constructed)
985 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
987 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
988 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
989 when an object is constructed)
990 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
991 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
992 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
995 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
997 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
998 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1000 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1002 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1003 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1004 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1006 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1007 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1008 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1010 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1012 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1013 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1015 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1016 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1019 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1020 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1023 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1024 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1025 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1027 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1028 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1032 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1033 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1034 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1037 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1040 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1041 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1042 with recommended workarounds.
1044 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1045 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1048 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1049 (yes, spelled like that).
1051 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1052 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1054 * Moose::Meta::Class
1055 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1056 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1058 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1060 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1061 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1062 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1063 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1064 instead. Reported by doy.
1066 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1068 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1069 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1071 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1072 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1073 message) is now deprecated.
1074 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1075 often got it wrong. For example:
1077 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1079 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1083 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1084 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1085 bite you in weird cases.
1087 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1088 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1089 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1090 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1092 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1093 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1097 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1100 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1101 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1105 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1108 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1111 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1112 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1113 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1114 - added tests for this (stevan)
1116 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1117 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1118 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1119 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1123 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1124 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1125 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1126 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1128 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1129 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1130 - added tests for this (rafl)
1132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1133 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1134 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1135 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1139 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1140 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1143 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1144 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1145 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1147 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1149 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1150 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1152 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1153 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1154 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1155 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1156 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1158 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1159 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1160 error message did not specify the attribute name
1163 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1165 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1167 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1168 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1169 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1172 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1175 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1177 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1178 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1179 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1180 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1182 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1184 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1185 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1186 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1187 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1190 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1191 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1193 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1194 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1195 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1196 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1197 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1200 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1201 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1202 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1203 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1205 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1206 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1207 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1208 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1209 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1210 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1212 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1213 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1214 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1215 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1216 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1217 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1219 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1220 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1222 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1223 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1224 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1225 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1228 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1231 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1235 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1236 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1239 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1240 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1241 guts. (nothingmuch).
1243 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1244 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1245 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1248 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1249 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1250 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Class
1253 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1256 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1257 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1259 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1260 * Moose::Unsweetened
1261 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1264 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1265 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1266 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1267 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1268 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1269 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1271 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1272 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1273 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1274 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1275 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1276 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1277 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1278 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1279 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1280 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1282 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1284 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1285 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1288 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1289 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1290 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1292 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1293 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1294 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1295 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1296 same methods for a single role did not work
1297 right (worked just fine with multiple
1299 - added test for this (stevan)
1301 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1302 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1303 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1306 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1307 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1308 - added test for this (t0m)
1311 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1312 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1313 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1316 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1317 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1318 - added test for this (t0m)
1320 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1321 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1322 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1323 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1324 - added test for this (perigrin)
1327 - create method for constructing a role
1328 dynamically (Sartak)
1329 - added test for this (Sartak)
1330 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1331 - added test for this (Sartak)
1334 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1337 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1338 methods is useful (Sartak)
1340 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1342 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1345 * Moose::Meta::Class
1346 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1347 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1348 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1349 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1350 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1351 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1354 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1355 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1357 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1358 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1359 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1360 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1361 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1363 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1365 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1366 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1367 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1370 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1371 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1372 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1373 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1374 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1375 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1378 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1379 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1380 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1381 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1382 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1383 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1384 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1385 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1386 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1387 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1388 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1391 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1394 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1395 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1396 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1397 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1398 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1400 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1402 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1403 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1404 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1406 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1407 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1410 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1411 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1412 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1415 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1416 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1418 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1420 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1421 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1423 * Moose::Meta::Class
1424 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1425 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1426 a required attribute
1428 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1430 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1431 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1433 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1434 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1437 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1438 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1439 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1440 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1441 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1442 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1443 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1445 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1446 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1447 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1449 * Roles and role application
1450 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1451 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1452 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1453 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1454 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1456 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1457 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1460 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1461 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1462 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1463 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1464 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1467 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1468 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1469 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1470 changes in the Moose internals.
1472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1474 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1477 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1478 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1479 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1480 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1482 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1483 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1484 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1485 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1488 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1489 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1490 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1491 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1492 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1493 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1494 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1495 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1496 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1497 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1498 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1499 constraint implementations.
1501 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1505 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1506 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1507 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1508 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1509 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1510 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1511 - added tests for this (rafl)
1513 * Moose::Meta::Class
1514 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1515 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1516 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1517 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1518 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1519 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1520 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1521 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1524 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1525 - added tests for this (thepler)
1527 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1528 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1529 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1530 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1533 * Moose::Meta::Class
1534 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1535 * Moose::Meta::Method
1538 * Moose::Error::Default
1539 * Moose::Error::Croak
1540 * Moose::Error::Confess
1541 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1542 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1543 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1544 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1545 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1546 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1548 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1550 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1551 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 * Moose::Unsweetened
1554 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1555 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1556 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1558 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1559 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1560 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1561 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1562 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1565 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1566 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1568 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1569 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1570 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1571 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1574 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1576 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1577 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1579 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1582 - Various bug fixes.
1584 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1585 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1587 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1589 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1590 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1591 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1592 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1593 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1594 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1596 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1597 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1598 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1600 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1601 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1602 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1605 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1606 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1607 dependency to 0.64_07.
1609 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1610 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1611 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1614 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1618 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1619 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1620 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1621 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1622 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1625 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1627 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1629 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1630 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1634 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1635 method when that method was provided by another role being
1636 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1637 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1639 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1641 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1642 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1644 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1645 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1646 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1647 - added test for this (t0m)
1649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1650 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1651 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1653 - added test for this (t0m)
1656 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1657 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1658 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1661 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1662 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1664 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1666 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1667 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1670 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1671 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1673 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1674 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1677 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1678 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1679 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1680 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1684 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1685 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1686 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1689 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1690 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1691 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1692 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1695 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1699 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1700 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1701 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1703 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1704 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1705 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1706 created so that the process can be more easily
1707 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1711 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1712 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1714 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1715 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1718 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1719 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1722 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1723 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1725 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1726 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1727 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1730 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1733 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1737 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1741 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1742 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1744 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1745 ... this is not my day today ...
1747 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1748 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1749 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1750 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1751 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1754 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1755 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1756 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1757 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1758 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1761 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1763 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1764 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1765 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1766 this is not ever something you want to do
1767 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1768 - added tests for this (stevan)
1771 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1773 - added test for this
1775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1776 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1777 - added tests for this (wreis)
1779 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1780 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1781 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1782 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1784 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1785 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1786 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1789 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1791 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1793 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1796 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1797 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1798 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1799 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1800 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1801 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1802 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1803 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1804 - added tests for this
1806 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1807 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1808 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1809 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1811 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1814 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

1826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1827 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1828 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1830 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1832 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1833 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1836 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1842 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1844 - added docs for this (TODO).
1845 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1846 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1847 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1865 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1866 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1867 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1870 - move the ClassName type check code to
1871 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1873 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1874 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1876 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1877 (early morning release engineering)--
1879 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1880 which was causing the indexer to choke
1882 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1883 (late night release engineering)--
1885 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1886 changes in this release
1888 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1889 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1890 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1892 * Moose::Meta::Class
1893 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1894 since it is called so often by &meta
1896 * Moose::Meta::Class
1898 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1899 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1903 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1904 method for immutablization to check if the
1905 destructor object even needs to be created
1908 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1909 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1910 - added more descriptive error message to help
1911 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1912 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1914 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1916 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1917 XS based functionality is now optional
1918 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1919 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1920 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1922 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1923 to take care of this, mostly we added
1924 support for the package_name and name
1925 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1926 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1927 support regexp matching of names
1928 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1929 - tests added for this
1930 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1931 is currently not supported in roles,
1932 but, ... patches welcome
1933 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1934 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1935 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1938 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1939 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1940 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1941 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1942 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1943 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1944 - added test for this
1946 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1947 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1948 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1951 * Moose::Meta::Class
1952 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1956 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1958 - added tests for this
1959 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1960 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1962 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1963 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1964 themselves parameterizable types
1966 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1967 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1968 called by the inlined immutable
1970 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1972 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1973 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1974 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1975 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1977 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1978 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1982 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1983 causing occasional cpantester failures

1985 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1987 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1989 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1990 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1993 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1994 ->body when looping through the
1995 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1997 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1998 eating the $@ values, and so not
1999 working correctly, it still kind of
2000 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2001 - added tests for this
2003 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2004 - added new recipe for immutable
2005 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2007 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2008 - added new recipe for builder and
2009 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2011 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2012 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2013 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2016 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2018 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2019 since Module::Install has done that.
2021 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2023 drink more coffee before
2024 doing release engineering
2026 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2027 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2028 modules. This fixes that.
2030 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2031 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2032 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2034 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2035 since we have tests which need the C3
2038 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2039 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2041 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2042 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2044 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2045 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2046 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2047 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2053 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2054 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2056 * Moose::Meta::Class
2057 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2058 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2060 - added test for this
2062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2063 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2064 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2065 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2066 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2067 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2069 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2070 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden

2141 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2143 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2144 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2187 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2188 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2434 - added tests for this
2437 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2438 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2480 - fixed how required methods are handled
2481 when they encounter overriden or modified
2482 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2483 - added tests for this
2485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2493 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2496 * Parameterized Types
2497 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2498 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2499 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2500 They can also be nested:
2501 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2502 And work with the type unions as well:
2503 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2505 * Better Framework Extendability
2506 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2507 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2508 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2509 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2512 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2513 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2514 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2515 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2743 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2744 to build the list of delegated methods
2745 correctly (and not override important
2746 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2748 - added tests and docs for this
2749 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2750 so that you can actually document your
2751 attributes and inspect them through the
2753 - added tests and docs for this
2755 * Moose::Meta::Class
2756 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2757 it will first look in for the class in the
2758 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2759 then default to just loading $name.
2760 - added tests and docs for this
2762 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2763 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2764 - added test for this
2767 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2768 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2769 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2770 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2772 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2773 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2776 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2778 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2779 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2780 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2783 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2784 !! for this developer release to work !!
2786 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2787 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2788 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2789 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2790 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2791 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2792 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2793 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2794 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2795 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2796 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2798 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2799 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2800 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2801 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2804 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2806 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2807 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2808 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2810 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2812 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2813 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2816 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2817 called unless they actually need to be.
2818 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2819 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2820 DEMOLISH method present.
2822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2823 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2824 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2825 type constraint, which allows for a
2826 hand optimized version of the type
2827 constraint to be used when possible.
2828 - Any internally created type constraints
2829 now provide an optimized version as well.
2831 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2833 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2834 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2835 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2838 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2839 your class namespace of these exported
2842 * Moose::Meta::Class
2843 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2844 comes up during global destruction
2846 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2850 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2854 - changed how we do type checks so that
2855 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2858 - moved accessor generation methods to
2859 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2860 conform to the API changes from
2863 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2864 - changed how constraints are compiled
2865 so that we do less recursion and more
2866 iteration. This makes the type check
2868 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2871 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2872 - created this from methods formerly found in
2873 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2875 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2876 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2878 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2879 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2882 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2884 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2887 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2888 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2889 - added tests for this
2890 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2891 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2892 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2893 - removed tests for this
2895 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2897 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2898 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2899 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2902 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2903 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2904 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2906 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2907 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2908 comments for more info.
2911 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2912 asked questions and common problems
2914 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2915 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2916 - added tests for this
2918 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2919 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2920 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2921 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2923 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2924 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2927 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2928 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2929 is much appreciated :)
2930 - added tests for this
2932 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2933 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2934 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2937 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2938 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2940 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2942 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2943 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2947 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2948 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2949 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2951 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2953 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2956 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2957 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2958 keywords because we need to localize them.
2959 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2961 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2962 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2963 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2966 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2969 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2970 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2971 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2974 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2975 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2976 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2978 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2980 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2981 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2982 bottom of your class file.
2985 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2988 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2990 - improved error message when loading modules so
2991 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2992 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2993 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2996 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2997 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2998 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3000 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3001 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3003 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3004 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3005 turn them on for you.
3006 - added tests for this
3007 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3008 in Moose::Meta::Class
3011 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3012 automatically turned on for you.

3035 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3036 - This release works in combination with
3037 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3038 release because it uses the a new
3039 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3040 complete Role implementation. It has
3041 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3042 the the previous CPAN version. This
3043 release also lacks good updated docs,
3044 the official release will have updated docs.
3047 - refactored the keyword exports
3048 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3049 accepts more than one Role at a time
3050 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3051 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3054 - refactored the keyword exports
3055 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3056 accepts more than one Role at a time
3058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3060 string enumerations which can be used as
3062 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3065 - more careful checking of params to new()
3068 - much work done on the role composition
3069 - many new tests for conflict detection
3070 and composition edge cases
3071 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3072 looking at the tests
3074 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3075 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3076 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3086 - some small changes to support the new
3088 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3089 with the 'handles' option

3097 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3098 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3099 on a per-attribute basis
3100 - added tests for this
3101 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3102 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3103 experimental feature and probably not finished

3105 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3106 - added tests for this

3168 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3170 - added test for this
