1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
7 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
8 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
9 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
10 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
15 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
18 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
19 constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
21 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
25 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
26 to be overridden more easily (doy).
28 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
32 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
33 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
35 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
39 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
40 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
41 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
43 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
47 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
48 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
49 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
51 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
52 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
56 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
57 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
59 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
60 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
64 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
65 is applied to a class (t0m).
67 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
68 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
70 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
73 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
74 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
76 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
77 be much more robust. (doy)
79 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
81 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
84 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
88 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
89 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
91 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
95 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
96 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
98 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
101 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
102 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
103 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
105 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
106 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
107 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
110 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
112 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
116 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
117 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
121 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
123 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
128 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
132 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
133 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
137 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
139 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
143 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
144 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
148 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
149 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
153 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
154 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
156 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
160 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
161 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
162 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
165 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
169 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
170 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
171 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
172 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
174 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
178 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
179 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
180 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
184 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
187 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
191 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
192 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
193 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
197 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
198 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
200 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
201 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
202 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
203 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
205 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
209 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
213 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
214 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
216 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
217 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
218 - Moose::Util::does_role
219 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
220 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
221 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
223 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
227 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
228 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
229 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
232 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
236 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
237 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
240 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
244 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
245 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
248 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
252 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
254 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
255 class. (Dave Rolsky).
257 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
258 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
259 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
261 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
262 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
263 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
266 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
267 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
269 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
270 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
271 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
273 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
275 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
276 substr et al, again. (sorear)
278 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
280 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
283 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
284 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
286 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
287 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
289 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
290 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
291 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
292 dependencies installed.
294 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
295 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
298 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
300 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
304 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
307 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
308 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
310 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
311 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
312 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
314 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
315 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
318 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
319 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
320 others. (nothingmuch)
322 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
323 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
324 remove_accessors. (doy)
326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
327 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
328 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
331 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
333 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
334 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
335 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
336 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
339 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
340 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
343 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
345 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
347 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
348 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
352 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
353 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
354 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
355 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
357 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
358 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
359 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
360 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
361 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
362 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
363 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
366 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
367 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
368 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
369 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
370 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
372 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
373 which were not receiving the value of
374 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
375 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
376 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
377 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
381 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
382 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
383 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
384 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
385 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
389 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
390 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
391 - added tests for this (Stevan)
394 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
395 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
396 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
399 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
401 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
403 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
404 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
405 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
408 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
409 class if you pass it options for
410 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
411 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
412 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
413 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
414 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
415 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
416 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
417 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
418 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
420 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
421 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
422 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
423 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
424 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
427 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
428 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
429 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
430 existing delegation API. (hdp)
432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
433 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
434 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
435 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
436 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
437 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
440 * Moose::Error::Croak
441 * Moose::Error::Confess
442 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
443 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
446 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
449 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
450 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
451 installing a broken sub. (doy)
454 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
457 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
458 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
459 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
461 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
462 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
463 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
464 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
465 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
467 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
468 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
471 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
473 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
474 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
477 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
478 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
480 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
482 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
483 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
486 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
487 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
488 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
489 using it for new code!
491 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
492 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
493 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
494 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
496 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
497 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
498 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
499 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
500 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
501 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
502 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
503 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
506 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
509 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
510 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
514 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
517 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
518 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
521 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
522 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
523 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
526 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
527 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
530 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
531 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
534 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
535 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
536 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
537 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
538 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
539 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
541 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
543 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
547 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
548 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
550 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
551 associated_methods. (hdp)
552 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
553 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
554 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
555 misspelled) arguments
557 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
558 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
559 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
560 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
562 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
563 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
564 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
566 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
570 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
571 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
574 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
575 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
577 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
579 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
580 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
582 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
583 * Moose::Manual::Types
584 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
585 string parsing rathole (mst)
587 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
588 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
589 using plain objects instead
591 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
592 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
595 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
597 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
598 three times today (perigrin)
599 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
600 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
603 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
604 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
605 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
608 - A role's required methods are now represented by
609 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
610 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
611 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
612 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
613 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
616 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
617 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
618 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
619 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
622 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
624 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
627 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
629 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
632 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
633 during global destruction. This method has been made more
634 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
638 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
639 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
642 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
643 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
645 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
646 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
647 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
650 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
652 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
653 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
656 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
660 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
661 methods during global destruction (doy)
664 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
665 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
669 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
670 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
673 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
674 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
677 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
678 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
680 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
682 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
686 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
687 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
688 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
691 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
692 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
693 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
696 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
698 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
699 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
700 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
703 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
704 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
705 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
706 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
708 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
709 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
710 of the Moose core (Sartak)
713 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
716 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
717 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
718 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
722 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
723 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
726 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
728 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
731 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
732 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
735 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
736 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
739 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
740 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
743 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
746 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
749 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
753 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
756 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
759 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
760 * More deprecations and renamings
761 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
762 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
763 when an object is constructed)
766 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
767 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
768 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
770 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
771 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
772 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
773 feature, and it works again.
776 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
778 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
780 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
781 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
782 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
784 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
785 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
786 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
787 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
788 message. Test provided by perigrin.
790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
791 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
792 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
793 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
794 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
797 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
798 metaclass object. (hdp)
800 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
801 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
802 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
803 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
804 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
805 point out this fact. (hdp)
807 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
808 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
810 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
811 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
814 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
815 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
816 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
817 called during instance construction were passed the
818 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
819 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
821 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
822 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
825 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
826 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
827 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
830 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
831 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
832 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
833 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
834 them, but they are not for "public" use.
837 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
839 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
840 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
841 when an object is constructed)
842 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
844 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
845 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
846 when an object is constructed)
847 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
848 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
849 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
852 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
854 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
855 * No changes from 0.72_01.
857 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
859 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
860 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
861 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
864 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
865 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
867 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
869 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
870 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
872 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
873 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
876 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
877 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
880 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
881 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
882 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
885 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
889 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
890 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
891 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
893 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
894 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
897 * Moose::Manual::Delta
898 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
899 with recommended workarounds.
901 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
902 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
904 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
905 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
906 (yes, spelled like that).
908 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
909 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
912 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
913 changes in latest Class::MOP.
915 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
917 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
918 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
919 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
920 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
921 instead. Reported by doy.
923 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
925 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
926 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
929 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
930 message) is now deprecated.
931 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
932 often got it wrong. For example:
934 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
936 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
940 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
941 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
942 bite you in weird cases.
944 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
945 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
946 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
949 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
950 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
954 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
957 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
958 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
961 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
962 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
965 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
968 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
969 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
970 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
971 - added tests for this (stevan)
973 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
974 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
975 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
976 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
980 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
981 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
982 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
983 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
985 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
986 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
987 - added tests for this (rafl)
989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
990 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
991 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
992 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
996 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
997 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1000 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1001 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1002 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1006 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1007 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1010 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1011 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1012 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1013 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1016 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1017 error message did not specify the attribute name
1020 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1022 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1024 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1025 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1026 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1028 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1029 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1032 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1034 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1035 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1036 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1037 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1039 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1041 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1042 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1043 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1044 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1047 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1048 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1051 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1052 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1053 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1054 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1056 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1057 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1058 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1059 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1060 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1063 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1064 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1065 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1066 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1067 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1069 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1070 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1071 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1072 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1073 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1074 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1076 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1077 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1079 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1080 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1081 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1082 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1084 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1085 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1088 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1092 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1093 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1096 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1097 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1098 guts. (nothingmuch).
1100 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1101 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1102 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1105 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1106 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1107 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1109 * Moose::Meta::Class
1110 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1113 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1114 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1116 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1117 * Moose::Unsweetened
1118 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1121 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1122 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1123 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1124 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1125 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1126 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1129 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1130 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1131 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1132 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1133 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1134 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1135 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1136 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1137 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1139 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1141 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1142 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1145 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1146 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1147 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1149 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1150 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1151 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1152 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1153 same methods for a single role did not work
1154 right (worked just fine with multiple
1156 - added test for this (stevan)
1158 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1159 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1160 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1163 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1164 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1165 - added test for this (t0m)
1168 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1169 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1170 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1173 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1174 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1175 - added test for this (t0m)
1177 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1178 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1179 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1180 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1181 - added test for this (perigrin)
1184 - create method for constructing a role
1185 dynamically (Sartak)
1186 - added test for this (Sartak)
1187 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1188 - added test for this (Sartak)
1191 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1193 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1194 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1195 methods is useful (Sartak)
1197 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1198 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1199 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1202 * Moose::Meta::Class
1203 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1204 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1205 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1206 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1207 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1208 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1211 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1212 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1214 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1215 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1216 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1217 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1218 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1220 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1222 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1223 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1227 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1228 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1229 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1230 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1231 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1232 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1236 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1237 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1238 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1239 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1240 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1241 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1242 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1243 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1244 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1245 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1248 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1252 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1253 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1254 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1255 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1257 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1259 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1260 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1261 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1264 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1267 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1268 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1269 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1272 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1273 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1275 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1277 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1278 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1280 * Moose::Meta::Class
1281 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1282 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1283 a required attribute
1285 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1286 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1287 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1288 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1291 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1293 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1294 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1295 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1296 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1297 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1298 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1299 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1300 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1302 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1303 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1304 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1306 * Roles and role application
1307 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1308 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1309 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1310 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1311 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1313 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1314 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1317 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1318 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1319 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1320 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1321 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1324 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1325 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1326 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1327 changes in the Moose internals.
1329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1331 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1334 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1335 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1336 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1337 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1340 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1341 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1342 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1345 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1346 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1347 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1348 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1349 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1350 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1351 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1352 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1353 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1354 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1355 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1356 constraint implementations.
1358 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1362 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1363 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1364 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1365 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1366 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1367 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1368 - added tests for this (rafl)
1370 * Moose::Meta::Class
1371 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1372 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1373 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1374 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1375 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1376 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1377 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1378 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1381 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1382 - added tests for this (thepler)
1384 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1385 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1386 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1387 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1390 * Moose::Meta::Class
1391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1392 * Moose::Meta::Method
1395 * Moose::Error::Default
1396 * Moose::Error::Croak
1397 * Moose::Error::Confess
1398 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1399 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1400 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1401 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1402 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1403 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1405 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1407 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1408 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1410 * Moose::Unsweetened
1411 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1412 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1413 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1416 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1417 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1418 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1419 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1422 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1423 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1425 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1426 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1427 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1428 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1471 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1474 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1475 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1476 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1477 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1478 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1479 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1481 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1482 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1484 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1486 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1487 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1491 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1492 method when that method was provided by another role being
1493 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1494 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1496 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1504 - added test for this (t0m)
1506 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1507 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1508 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1510 - added test for this (t0m)
1513 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1514 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1515 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1518 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1519 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1521 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1523 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1524 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1526 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1527 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1528 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

1537 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1541 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1542 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1543 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1562 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1563 created so that the process can be more easily

1598 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1599 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1601 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1602 ... this is not my day today ...
1604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1605 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1606 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1607 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1608 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1611 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1612 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1613 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1614 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1615 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1618 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1620 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1621 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1622 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1623 this is not ever something you want to do

1625 - added tests for this (stevan)
1628 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1630 - added test for this

1650 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1653 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1654 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1655 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1656 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1657 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1658 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1659 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1660 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1661 - added tests for this
1663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1664 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1665 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1666 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1739 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1740 (late night release engineering)--

1761 method for immutablization to check if the
1762 destructor object even needs to be created
1765 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1766 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1767 - added more descriptive error message to help
1768 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1769 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1771 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1773 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1774 XS based functionality is now optional
1775 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1776 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1777 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1779 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1780 to take care of this, mostly we added
1781 support for the package_name and name

1784 support regexp matching of names
1785 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1787 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1788 is currently not supported in roles,
1789 but, ... patches welcome

1797 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1801 - added test for this
1803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1850 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1851 ->body when looping through the
1852 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1854 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1855 eating the $@ values, and so not
1856 working correctly, it still kind of
1857 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1858 - added tests for this
1860 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1861 - added new recipe for immutable
1862 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1880 drink more coffee before
1881 doing release engineering
1883 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1998 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2000 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2005 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2027 - added tests for this
2029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2030 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a
2031 custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
2032 - added tests for this

2040 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2291 - added tests for this
2294 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2295 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2338 when they encounter overriden or modified
2339 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2340 - added tests for this
2342 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2343 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2344 the | always creates a union and so is
2345 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

2348 - added more tests for this
2350 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2353 * Parameterized Types
2354 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2355 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2356 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2357 They can also be nested:
2358 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2359 And work with the type unions as well:
2360 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2362 * Better Framework Extendability
2363 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2364 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2365 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2366 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2369 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2370 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2371 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2372 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2375 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2377 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2378 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2607 so that you can actually document your
2608 attributes and inspect them through the

2612 * Moose::Meta::Class
2613 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

2619 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2620 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2621 - added test for this

2629 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2630 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2633 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2635 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2636 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2637 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2640 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2641 !! for this developer release to work !!
2643 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2644 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2645 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2646 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2647 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2648 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2649 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2650 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2651 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2652 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2653 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2655 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2656 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2657 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2658 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2661 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2663 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2664 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2665 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2667 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2669 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2670 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2673 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2674 called unless they actually need to be.
2675 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2676 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2677 DEMOLISH method present.
2679 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2680 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2681 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2682 type constraint, which allows for a
2683 hand optimized version of the type
2684 constraint to be used when possible.
2685 - Any internally created type constraints
2686 now provide an optimized version as well.
2688 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2690 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2691 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2692 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2695 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2696 your class namespace of these exported
2699 * Moose::Meta::Class
2700 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2701 comes up during global destruction
2703 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2707 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2710 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2711 - changed how we do type checks so that
2712 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2715 - moved accessor generation methods to
2716 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2717 conform to the API changes from
2720 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2721 - changed how constraints are compiled
2722 so that we do less recursion and more
2723 iteration. This makes the type check
2725 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2728 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2729 - created this from methods formerly found in
2730 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2732 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2733 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2736 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2738 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2739 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2741 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2743 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2744 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2745 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2746 - added tests for this
2747 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2748 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2749 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2750 - removed tests for this
2752 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2754 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2755 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2756 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2759 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2760 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2761 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2763 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2764 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2765 comments for more info.
2768 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2769 asked questions and common problems
2771 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2772 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2773 - added tests for this
2775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2776 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2777 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2778 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2780 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2781 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2784 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2785 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2786 is much appreciated :)
2787 - added tests for this
2789 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2790 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2791 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2794 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2795 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2797 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2799 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2800 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2804 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2805 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2806 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2808 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2810 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2813 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2814 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2815 keywords because we need to localize them.
2816 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2818 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2819 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2820 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2823 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2827 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2828 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2831 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2832 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2833 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2835 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2837 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2838 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2839 bottom of your class file.
2842 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2845 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2847 - improved error message when loading modules so
2848 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2849 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2850 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2853 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2854 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2855 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2857 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2858 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2860 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2861 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2862 turn them on for you.
2863 - added tests for this
2864 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2865 in Moose::Meta::Class
2868 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2869 automatically turned on for you.

2891 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2892 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2893 - This release works in combination with
2894 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2895 release because it uses the a new
2896 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2897 complete Role implementation. It has
2898 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2899 the the previous CPAN version. This
2900 release also lacks good updated docs,
2901 the official release will have updated docs.
2904 - refactored the keyword exports
2905 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2906 accepts more than one Role at a time
2907 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2908 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2911 - refactored the keyword exports
2912 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2913 accepts more than one Role at a time
2915 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2916 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2917 string enumerations which can be used as
2919 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2922 - more careful checking of params to new()
2925 - much work done on the role composition
2926 - many new tests for conflict detection
2927 and composition edge cases
2928 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2929 looking at the tests
2931 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2932 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2933 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2935 * Moose::Meta::Class
2936 - some small changes to support the new
2938 - some small additions to support Roles
2940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2941 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2943 - some small changes to support the new
2945 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2946 with the 'handles' option
2947 - added several tests for this
2948 - no docs for this yet
2950 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2952 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2953 thanks to chansen for this commit
2954 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2955 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2956 on a per-attribute basis
2957 - added tests for this
2958 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2959 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2960 experimental feature and probably not finished

2962 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2963 - added tests for this

3025 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3027 - added test for this
