1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
9 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
13 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
14 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
16 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
20 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
21 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
22 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
24 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
28 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
29 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
30 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
32 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
33 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
36 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
37 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
40 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
41 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
42 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
44 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
45 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
50 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
51 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
52 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
55 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
56 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
58 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
59 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
61 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
62 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
63 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
66 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
67 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
68 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
71 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
72 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
73 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
74 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
76 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
77 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
80 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
81 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
88 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
89 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
90 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
92 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
93 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
94 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
97 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
98 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
99 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
101 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
102 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
103 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
105 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
106 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
110 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
111 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
112 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
114 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
115 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
116 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
117 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
119 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
123 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
124 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
125 value is a reference.
127 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
128 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
130 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
134 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
135 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
136 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
138 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
142 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
143 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
147 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
148 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
149 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
151 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
152 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
153 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
155 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
159 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
161 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
165 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
167 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
168 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
173 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
174 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
176 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
177 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
178 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
179 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
180 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
182 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
183 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
184 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
185 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
187 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
191 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
192 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
197 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
199 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
201 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
206 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
208 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
212 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
213 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
214 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
216 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
217 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
218 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
219 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
221 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
222 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
223 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
224 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
225 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
228 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
233 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
234 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
235 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
236 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
237 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
240 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
244 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
247 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
248 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
252 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
253 function (not just method). (doy)
257 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
258 and aren't easily installable/testable.
260 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
264 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
265 to be overridden more easily (doy).
267 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
271 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
272 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
274 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
278 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
279 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
280 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
282 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
286 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
287 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
288 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
290 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
291 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
295 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
296 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
298 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
299 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
303 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
304 is applied to a class (t0m).
306 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
307 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
309 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
312 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
313 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
315 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
316 be much more robust. (doy)
318 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
320 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
323 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
327 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
328 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
330 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
334 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
335 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
337 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
340 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
341 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
342 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
344 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
345 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
346 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
349 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
351 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
355 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
356 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
360 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
362 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
367 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
371 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
372 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
376 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
378 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
382 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
383 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
387 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
388 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
392 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
393 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
395 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
399 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
400 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
401 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
404 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
408 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
409 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
410 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
411 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
413 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
417 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
418 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
419 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
423 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
426 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
430 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
431 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
432 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
436 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
437 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
439 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
440 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
441 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
442 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
444 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
448 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
452 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
453 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
455 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
456 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
457 - Moose::Util::does_role
458 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
459 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
460 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
462 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
466 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
467 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
468 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
471 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
475 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
476 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
479 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
483 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
484 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
487 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
491 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
493 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
494 class. (Dave Rolsky).
496 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
497 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
498 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
500 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
501 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
502 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
505 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
506 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
508 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
509 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
510 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
512 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
514 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
515 substr et al, again. (sorear)
517 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
519 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
522 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
523 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
525 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
526 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
528 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
529 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
530 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
531 dependencies installed.
533 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
534 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
537 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
539 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
543 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
545 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
546 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
547 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
549 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
550 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
551 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
553 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
554 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
557 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
558 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
559 others. (nothingmuch)
561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
562 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
563 remove_accessors. (doy)
565 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
566 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
567 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
570 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
572 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
574 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
575 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
578 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
579 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
582 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
584 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
586 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
587 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
591 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
592 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
593 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
594 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
596 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
598 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
599 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
600 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
601 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
602 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
605 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
606 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
607 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
608 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
609 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
611 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
612 which were not receiving the value of
613 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
614 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
615 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
616 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
620 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
621 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
622 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
623 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
624 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
627 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
628 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
629 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
630 - added tests for this (Stevan)
633 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
634 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
635 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
638 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
640 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
643 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
644 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
647 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
648 class if you pass it options for
649 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
650 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
651 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
652 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
653 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
654 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
655 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
656 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
657 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
659 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
660 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
661 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
662 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
663 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
666 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
668 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
669 existing delegation API. (hdp)
671 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
672 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
673 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
674 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
675 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
676 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
679 * Moose::Error::Croak
680 * Moose::Error::Confess
681 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
682 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
685 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
688 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
689 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
690 installing a broken sub. (doy)
693 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
696 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
697 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
698 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
700 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
701 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
702 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
703 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
704 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
706 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
707 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
710 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
712 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
713 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
716 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
717 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
719 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
720 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
721 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
722 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
724 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
725 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
726 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
727 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
728 using it for new code!
730 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
731 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
732 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
733 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
735 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
736 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
737 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
738 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
739 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
740 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
741 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
742 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
745 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
748 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
749 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
752 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
753 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
755 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
756 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
757 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
760 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
761 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
762 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
765 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
766 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
769 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
770 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
773 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
774 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
775 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
776 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
777 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
778 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
780 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
782 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
786 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
787 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
789 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
790 associated_methods. (hdp)
791 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
792 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
793 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
794 misspelled) arguments
796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
797 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
798 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
799 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
803 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
805 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
809 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
810 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
813 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
814 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
816 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
818 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
819 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
821 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
822 * Moose::Manual::Types
823 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
824 string parsing rathole (mst)
826 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
827 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
828 using plain objects instead
830 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
831 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
834 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
836 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
837 three times today (perigrin)
838 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
839 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
842 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
843 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
844 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
847 - A role's required methods are now represented by
848 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
849 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
850 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
851 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
852 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
855 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
856 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
857 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
858 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
861 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
863 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
866 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
868 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
871 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
872 during global destruction. This method has been made more
873 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
877 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
878 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
881 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
882 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
884 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
885 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
886 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
889 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
891 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
892 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
895 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
899 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
900 methods during global destruction (doy)
903 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
904 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
908 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
909 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
912 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
913 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
916 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
917 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
919 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
921 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
925 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
926 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
927 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
930 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
931 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
932 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
935 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
937 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
938 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
939 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
942 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
943 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
944 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
945 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
947 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
948 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
949 of the Moose core (Sartak)
952 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
955 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
956 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
957 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
961 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
962 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
965 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
967 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
970 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
971 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
974 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
975 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
978 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
979 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
982 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
985 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
987 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
988 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
992 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
995 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
998 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
999 * More deprecations and renamings
1000 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1001 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1002 when an object is constructed)
1005 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1006 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1007 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1009 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1010 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1011 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1012 feature, and it works again.
1015 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1017 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1019 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1020 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1021 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1024 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1025 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1026 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1027 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1030 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1031 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1032 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1033 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1036 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1037 metaclass object. (hdp)
1039 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1040 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1041 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1042 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1043 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1044 point out this fact. (hdp)
1046 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1047 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1049 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1050 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1052 * Moose::Meta::Class
1053 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1054 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1055 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1056 called during instance construction were passed the
1057 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1058 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1060 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1061 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1064 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1065 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1066 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1069 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1070 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1071 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1072 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1073 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1075 - Moose::Meta::Class
1076 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1078 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1079 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1080 when an object is constructed)
1081 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1083 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1084 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1085 when an object is constructed)
1086 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1087 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1088 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1091 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1093 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1094 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1096 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1098 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1099 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1100 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1103 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1104 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1106 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1108 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1109 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1111 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1112 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1115 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1116 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1119 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1120 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1121 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1124 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1128 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1129 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1130 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1133 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1136 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1137 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1138 with recommended workarounds.
1140 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1141 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1143 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1144 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1145 (yes, spelled like that).
1147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1148 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1150 * Moose::Meta::Class
1151 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1152 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1154 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1157 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1158 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1159 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1160 instead. Reported by doy.
1162 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1164 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1165 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1168 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1169 message) is now deprecated.
1170 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1171 often got it wrong. For example:
1173 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1175 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1179 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1180 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1181 bite you in weird cases.
1183 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1184 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1185 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1186 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1188 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1189 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1193 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1196 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1197 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1200 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1201 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1204 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1207 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1209 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1210 - added tests for this (stevan)
1212 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1213 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1214 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1215 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1219 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1220 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1221 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1222 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1224 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1225 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1226 - added tests for this (rafl)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1229 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1230 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1231 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1235 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1236 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1239 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1240 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1241 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1243 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1245 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1246 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1248 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1249 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1250 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1251 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1252 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1255 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1256 error message did not specify the attribute name
1259 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1261 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1263 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1264 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1265 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1268 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1271 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1273 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1274 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1275 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1276 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1278 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1280 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1281 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1282 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1283 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1285 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1286 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1287 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1289 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1290 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1291 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1292 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1293 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1295 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1296 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1297 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1298 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1299 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1301 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1302 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1303 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1304 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1305 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1306 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1308 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1309 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1310 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1311 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1312 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1313 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1316 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1318 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1319 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1320 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1321 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1324 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1327 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1331 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1332 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1334 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1335 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1336 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1337 guts. (nothingmuch).
1339 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1341 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1343 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1344 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1345 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1346 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1348 * Moose::Meta::Class
1349 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1352 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1353 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1355 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1356 * Moose::Unsweetened
1357 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1360 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1361 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1362 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1363 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1364 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1365 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1368 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1369 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1370 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1371 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1372 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1373 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1374 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1375 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1376 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1378 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1380 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1381 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1383 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1384 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1385 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1386 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1388 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1389 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1390 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1391 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1392 same methods for a single role did not work
1393 right (worked just fine with multiple
1395 - added test for this (stevan)
1397 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1398 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1399 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1402 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1403 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1404 - added test for this (t0m)
1407 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1408 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1409 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1412 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1413 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1414 - added test for this (t0m)
1416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1417 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1418 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1419 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1420 - added test for this (perigrin)
1423 - create method for constructing a role
1424 dynamically (Sartak)
1425 - added test for this (Sartak)
1426 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1427 - added test for this (Sartak)
1430 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1432 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1433 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1434 methods is useful (Sartak)
1436 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1438 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1441 * Moose::Meta::Class
1442 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1443 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1444 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1445 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1446 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1447 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1450 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1451 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1453 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1454 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1455 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1456 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1457 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1459 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1461 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1462 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1463 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1466 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1467 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1468 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1469 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1470 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1471 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1474 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1475 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1476 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1477 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1478 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1479 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1480 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1481 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1482 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1483 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1484 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1486 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1487 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1490 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1491 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1492 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1493 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1494 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1496 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1498 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1499 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1500 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1502 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1503 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1506 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1507 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1508 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1511 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1512 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1514 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1516 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1517 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1519 * Moose::Meta::Class
1520 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1521 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1522 a required attribute
1524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1525 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1526 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1527 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1529 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1530 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1532 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1533 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1534 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1535 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1536 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1537 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1538 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1539 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1541 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1542 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1543 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1545 * Roles and role application
1546 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1547 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1548 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1549 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1550 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1552 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1553 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1556 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1557 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1558 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1559 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1560 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1563 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1564 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1565 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1566 changes in the Moose internals.
1568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1570 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1573 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1574 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1575 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1576 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1579 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1580 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1581 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1583 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1584 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1585 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1586 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1587 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1588 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1589 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1590 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1591 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1592 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1593 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1594 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1595 constraint implementations.
1597 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1601 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1602 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1603 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1604 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1605 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1606 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1607 - added tests for this (rafl)
1609 * Moose::Meta::Class
1610 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1611 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1612 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1613 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1614 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1615 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1616 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1617 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1620 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1621 - added tests for this (thepler)
1623 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1624 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1625 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1626 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1629 * Moose::Meta::Class
1630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1631 * Moose::Meta::Method
1634 * Moose::Error::Default
1635 * Moose::Error::Croak
1636 * Moose::Error::Confess
1637 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1638 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1639 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1640 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1641 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1642 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1644 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1646 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1647 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 * Moose::Unsweetened
1650 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1651 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1652 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1654 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1655 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1656 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1657 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1658 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1661 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1662 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1664 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1665 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1666 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1667 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1670 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1672 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1673 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1675 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1678 - Various bug fixes.
1680 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1681 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1683 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1685 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1686 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1687 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1688 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1689 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1690 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1693 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1694 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1696 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1697 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1698 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1701 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1702 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1703 dependency to 0.64_07.
1705 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1706 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1707 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1709 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1710 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1713 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1714 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1715 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1716 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1717 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1718 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1720 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1721 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1723 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1725 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1726 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1730 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1731 method when that method was provided by another role being
1732 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1735 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1737 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1738 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1740 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1741 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1742 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1743 - added test for this (t0m)
1745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1746 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1747 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1749 - added test for this (t0m)
1752 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1753 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1754 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1757 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1758 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1760 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1762 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1763 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1765 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1766 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1767 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1770 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1773 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1775 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1776 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1780 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1781 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1782 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1786 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1787 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1788 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1791 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1795 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1796 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1797 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1799 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1801 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1802 created so that the process can be more easily
1803 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1805 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1806 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1807 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1808 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1811 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1814 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1815 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1817 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1818 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1819 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1821 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1822 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1823 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1825 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1826 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1828 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1829 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1832 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1833 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1837 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1838 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1840 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1841 ... this is not my day today ...
1843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1844 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1845 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1846 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1847 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1850 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1851 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1852 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1853 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1854 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1857 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1859 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1860 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1861 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1862 this is not ever something you want to do
1863 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1864 - added tests for this (stevan)
1867 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1869 - added test for this
1871 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1872 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1873 - added tests for this (wreis)
1875 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1876 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1877 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1878 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1880 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1881 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1882 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1885 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1887 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1889 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1892 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1893 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1894 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1895 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1896 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1897 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1898 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1899 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1900 - added tests for this
1902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1903 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1904 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1905 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1907 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1910 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1911 - added tests for this (sartak)
1912 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1913 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1916 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1918 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1919 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1923 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1924 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1926 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1928 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1929 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1932 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1934 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1936 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1937 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1938 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1940 - added docs for this (TODO).
1941 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1942 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1943 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1944 - fix builder and default both being used
1949 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1951 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1952 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1953 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1957 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1961 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1962 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1963 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1965 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1966 - move the ClassName type check code to
1967 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1969 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1970 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1972 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1973 (early morning release engineering)--
1975 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1976 which was causing the indexer to choke
1978 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1979 (late night release engineering)--
1981 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1982 changes in this release
1984 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1985 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1986 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1988 * Moose::Meta::Class
1989 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1990 since it is called so often by &meta
1992 * Moose::Meta::Class
1994 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1995 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1998 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1999 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2000 method for immutablization to check if the
2001 destructor object even needs to be created
2004 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2005 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2006 - added more descriptive error message to help
2007 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2008 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2010 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2012 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2013 XS based functionality is now optional
2014 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2015 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2016 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2018 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2019 to take care of this, mostly we added
2020 support for the package_name and name
2021 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2022 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2023 support regexp matching of names
2024 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2025 - tests added for this
2026 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2027 is currently not supported in roles,
2028 but, ... patches welcome
2029 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2030 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2031 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2034 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2035 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2036 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2037 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2038 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2039 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2040 - added test for this
2042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2043 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2044 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2047 * Moose::Meta::Class
2048 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2052 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2054 - added tests for this
2055 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2056 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2059 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are

2119 drink more coffee before
2120 doing release engineering
2122 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2237 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2239 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2240 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2283 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2284 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2577 when they encounter overriden or modified
2578 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2579 - added tests for this

2589 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2592 * Parameterized Types
2593 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2594 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2595 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2596 They can also be nested:
2597 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2598 And work with the type unions as well:
2599 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2601 * Better Framework Extendability
2602 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2603 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2604 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2605 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2608 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2609 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2610 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2611 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2747 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
2748 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2749 (but not changing the handles option)
2750 - added tests and docs for this
2753 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2754 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2755 - adjusted tests for this
2757 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2759 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
2760 * Moose::Meta::Class
2761 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
2762 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2763 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2764 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2765 the other side (perigrin)
2767 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2769 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2770 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2771 prototypes for functions
2772 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2773 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2774 - added tests and docs for this
2775 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2776 default for where be { 1 }

2781 merlyn for finding this bug
2782 - tests added for this
2783 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2786 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2787 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2788 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2789 - added tests for this
2791 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2793 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2809 * Moose::Meta::Class
2810 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2811 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2812 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2814 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2815 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2817 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2818 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2819 so this release is just to fix that.
2822 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2823 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2824 (thanks to konobi for this)
2825 - added tests and docs
2827 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2835 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2836 functions to facilitate introspection.
2838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2839 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2840 to build the list of delegated methods
2841 correctly (and not override important
2842 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2844 - added tests and docs for this
2845 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2846 so that you can actually document your
2847 attributes and inspect them through the
2849 - added tests and docs for this
2851 * Moose::Meta::Class
2852 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2853 it will first look in for the class in the
2854 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2855 then default to just loading $name.
2856 - added tests and docs for this
2858 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2859 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2860 - added test for this
2863 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2864 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2865 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2866 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2868 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2869 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2872 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2874 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2875 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2876 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2879 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2880 !! for this developer release to work !!
2882 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2883 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2884 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2885 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2886 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2887 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2888 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2889 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2890 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2891 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2892 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2894 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2895 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2896 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2897 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2900 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2902 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2903 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2904 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2906 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2908 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2909 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2912 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2913 called unless they actually need to be.
2914 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2915 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2916 DEMOLISH method present.
2918 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2919 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2920 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2921 type constraint, which allows for a
2922 hand optimized version of the type
2923 constraint to be used when possible.
2924 - Any internally created type constraints
2925 now provide an optimized version as well.
2927 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2929 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2930 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2931 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2934 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2935 your class namespace of these exported
2938 * Moose::Meta::Class
2939 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2940 comes up during global destruction
2942 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2946 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2950 - changed how we do type checks so that
2951 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2954 - moved accessor generation methods to
2955 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2956 conform to the API changes from
2959 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2960 - changed how constraints are compiled
2961 so that we do less recursion and more
2962 iteration. This makes the type check
2964 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2967 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2968 - created this from methods formerly found in
2969 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2971 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2972 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2974 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2975 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2978 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2980 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2983 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2984 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2985 - added tests for this
2986 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2987 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2988 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2989 - removed tests for this
2991 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2993 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2994 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2995 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2998 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2999 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3000 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3002 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3003 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3004 comments for more info.
3007 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3008 asked questions and common problems
3010 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3011 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3012 - added tests for this
3014 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3015 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3016 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3017 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3019 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3020 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3023 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3024 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3025 is much appreciated :)
3026 - added tests for this
3028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3029 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3030 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3034 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3036 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3038 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3039 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3043 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3044 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3045 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3047 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3049 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3052 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3053 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3054 keywords because we need to localize them.
3055 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3057 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3058 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3059 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3062 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3066 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3067 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3070 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3071 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3072 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3074 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3076 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3077 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3078 bottom of your class file.
3081 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3084 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3086 - improved error message when loading modules so
3087 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3088 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3089 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3092 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3093 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3094 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3096 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3097 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3099 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3100 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3101 turn them on for you.
3102 - added tests for this

3131 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3132 - This release works in combination with
3133 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3134 release because it uses the a new
3135 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3136 complete Role implementation. It has
3137 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3138 the the previous CPAN version. This
3139 release also lacks good updated docs,
3140 the official release will have updated docs.
3143 - refactored the keyword exports
3144 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3145 accepts more than one Role at a time

3156 string enumerations which can be used as
3158 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3161 - more careful checking of params to new()
3164 - much work done on the role composition
3165 - many new tests for conflict detection
3166 and composition edge cases
3167 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3168 looking at the tests
3170 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3171 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3172 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3193 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3194 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3195 on a per-attribute basis
3196 - added tests for this
3197 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3198 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
