1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
9 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
10 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects which
11 implementation is a regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
15 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
16 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
18 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
22 * Update conflicts list.
25 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
29 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
30 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
31 details. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
34 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
35 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
36 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
37 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
42 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
43 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
44 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
45 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
48 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
52 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
53 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
55 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
58 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
62 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
63 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
64 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
65 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
67 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
68 immutable classes). (mo)
70 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
71 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
72 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
74 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
78 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
80 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
82 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
86 * Fix some indexing issues.
88 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
90 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
94 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
95 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
96 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
97 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
98 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
100 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
101 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
106 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
107 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
108 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
109 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
111 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
112 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
113 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
117 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
118 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
121 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
125 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
126 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
130 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
134 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
135 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
136 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
137 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
140 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
144 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
147 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
151 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
152 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
153 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
156 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
160 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
161 policy. (Chris Prather)
163 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
164 on this new support policy. (doy)
168 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
169 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
170 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
172 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
173 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
175 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
179 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
180 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
181 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
182 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
185 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
189 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
190 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
193 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
197 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
198 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
200 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
201 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
205 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
206 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
207 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
208 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
209 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
210 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
212 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
213 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
215 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
216 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
217 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
218 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
220 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
221 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
223 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
228 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
229 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
231 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
235 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
236 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
237 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
239 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
243 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
244 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
245 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
247 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
248 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
251 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
252 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
255 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
256 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
257 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
259 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
260 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
265 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
266 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
267 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
268 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
270 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
271 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
273 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
274 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
276 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
277 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
278 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
279 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
281 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
282 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
283 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
286 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
287 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
288 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
289 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
291 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
292 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
295 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
296 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
297 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
299 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
303 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
304 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
305 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
307 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
308 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
309 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
312 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
313 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
314 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
316 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
317 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
318 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
320 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
321 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
325 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
326 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
327 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
329 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
330 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
331 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
332 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
334 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
338 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
339 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
340 value is a reference.
342 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
343 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
345 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
349 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
350 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
351 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
353 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
357 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
358 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
362 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
363 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
364 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
366 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
367 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
368 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
370 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
374 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
376 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
380 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
382 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
383 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
388 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
389 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
391 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
392 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
393 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
394 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
395 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
397 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
398 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
399 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
400 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
402 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
406 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
407 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
412 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
414 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
416 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
421 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
423 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
427 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
428 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
429 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
431 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
432 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
433 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
434 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
436 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
437 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
438 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
439 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
440 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
443 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
448 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
449 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
450 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
451 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
452 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
455 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
459 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
462 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
463 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
467 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
468 function (not just method). (doy)
472 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
473 and aren't easily installable/testable.
475 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
479 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
480 to be overridden more easily (doy).
482 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
486 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
487 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
489 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
493 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
494 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
495 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
497 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
501 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
502 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
503 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
505 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
506 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
510 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
511 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
513 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
514 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
518 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
519 is applied to a class (t0m).
521 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
522 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
524 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
527 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
528 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
530 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
531 be much more robust. (doy)
533 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
535 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
538 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
542 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
543 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
545 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
549 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
550 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
552 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
555 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
556 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
557 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
559 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
560 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
561 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
564 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
566 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
570 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
571 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
575 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
577 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
582 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
586 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
587 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
591 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
593 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
597 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
598 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
602 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
603 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
607 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
608 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
610 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
614 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
615 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
616 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
619 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
623 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
624 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
625 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
626 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
628 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
632 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
633 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
634 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
638 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
641 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
645 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
646 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
647 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
651 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
652 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
654 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
655 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
656 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
657 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
659 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
663 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
667 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
668 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
670 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
671 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
672 - Moose::Util::does_role
673 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
674 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
675 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
677 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
681 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
682 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
683 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
686 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
690 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
691 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
694 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
698 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
699 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
702 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
706 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
708 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
709 class. (Dave Rolsky).
711 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
712 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
713 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
715 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
716 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
717 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
720 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
721 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
723 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
724 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
725 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
727 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
729 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
730 substr et al, again. (sorear)
732 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
734 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
737 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
738 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
740 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
741 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
743 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
744 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
745 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
746 dependencies installed.
748 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
749 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
752 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
754 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
758 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
760 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
761 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
762 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
765 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
766 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
768 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
769 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
772 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
773 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
774 others. (nothingmuch)
776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
777 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
778 remove_accessors. (doy)
780 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
781 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
782 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
784 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
785 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
787 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
789 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
790 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
793 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
794 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
796 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
797 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
799 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
801 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
802 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
806 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
807 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
808 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
809 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
811 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
814 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
815 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
816 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
817 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
820 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
821 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
822 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
823 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
824 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
826 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
827 which were not receiving the value of
828 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
829 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
830 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
831 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
835 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
836 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
837 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
838 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
839 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
843 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
844 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
845 - added tests for this (Stevan)
848 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
849 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
850 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
853 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
854 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
855 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
858 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
859 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
862 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
863 class if you pass it options for
864 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
865 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
866 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
867 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
868 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
869 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
870 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
871 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
872 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
874 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
875 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
876 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
877 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
878 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
881 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
882 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
883 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
884 existing delegation API. (hdp)
886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
887 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
888 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
889 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
890 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
891 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
894 * Moose::Error::Croak
895 * Moose::Error::Confess
896 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
897 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
900 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
903 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
904 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
905 installing a broken sub. (doy)
908 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
911 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
912 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
913 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
915 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
916 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
917 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
918 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
919 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
921 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
922 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
925 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
927 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
928 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
931 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
932 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
934 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
936 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
937 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
940 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
941 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
942 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
943 using it for new code!
945 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
946 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
947 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
948 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
950 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
951 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
952 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
953 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
954 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
955 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
956 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
957 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
960 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
963 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
964 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
967 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
968 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
970 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
971 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
972 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
975 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
976 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
977 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
980 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
981 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
983 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
984 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
985 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
988 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
990 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
991 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
992 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
993 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
995 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
997 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1000 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1001 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1002 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1004 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1005 associated_methods. (hdp)
1006 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1007 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1008 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1009 misspelled) arguments
1011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1012 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1013 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1014 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1016 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1017 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1018 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1020 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1024 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1025 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1028 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1029 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1031 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1032 * Moose::Meta::Class
1033 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1034 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1036 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1037 * Moose::Manual::Types
1038 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1039 string parsing rathole (mst)
1041 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1042 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1043 using plain objects instead
1045 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1046 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1047 that's what we need.
1049 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1050 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1051 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1052 three times today (perigrin)
1053 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1054 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1056 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1057 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1058 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1059 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1062 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1063 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1064 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1065 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1066 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1067 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1070 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1071 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1072 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1073 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1076 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1078 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1081 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1083 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1086 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1087 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1088 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1092 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1093 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1096 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1097 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1099 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1100 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1101 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1103 * Moose::Unsweetened
1104 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1106 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1107 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1110 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1114 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1115 methods during global destruction (doy)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Class
1118 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1119 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1120 consumption (Sartak)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Class
1123 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1124 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1127 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1128 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1131 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1132 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1134 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1136 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1140 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1141 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1142 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1145 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1146 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1147 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1150 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1152 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1153 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1154 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1157 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1158 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1159 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1160 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1163 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1164 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1167 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1170 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1171 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1172 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1176 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1177 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Class
1180 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1182 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1184 * Moose::Meta::Class
1185 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1186 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1189 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1190 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1193 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1194 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1197 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1200 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1203 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1206 * Moose::Meta::Class
1207 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1210 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1213 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1214 * More deprecations and renamings
1215 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1216 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1217 when an object is constructed)
1220 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1221 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1222 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1225 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1226 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1227 feature, and it works again.
1230 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1232 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1234 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1235 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1236 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1239 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1240 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1241 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1242 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1244 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1245 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1246 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1247 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1248 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1251 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1252 metaclass object. (hdp)
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1255 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1256 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1257 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1258 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1259 point out this fact. (hdp)
1261 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1262 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1264 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1265 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1267 * Moose::Meta::Class
1268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1269 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1270 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1271 called during instance construction were passed the
1272 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1273 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1275 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1276 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1279 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1280 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1281 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1284 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1285 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1286 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1287 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1288 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1290 - Moose::Meta::Class
1291 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1293 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1294 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1295 when an object is constructed)
1296 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1298 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1299 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1300 when an object is constructed)
1301 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1302 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1303 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1306 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1308 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1309 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1311 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1313 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1314 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1315 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1317 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1318 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1319 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1321 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1324 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1326 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1327 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1330 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1331 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1334 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1335 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1336 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1339 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1343 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1344 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1345 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1348 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1351 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1352 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1353 with recommended workarounds.
1355 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1356 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1358 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1359 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1360 (yes, spelled like that).
1362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1363 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1365 * Moose::Meta::Class
1366 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1367 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1369 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1371 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1372 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1373 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1374 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1375 instead. Reported by doy.
1377 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1379 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1380 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1383 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1384 message) is now deprecated.
1385 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1386 often got it wrong. For example:
1388 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1390 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1394 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1395 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1396 bite you in weird cases.
1398 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1399 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1400 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1401 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1403 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1404 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1408 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1411 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1412 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1415 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1416 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1418 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1419 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1422 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1424 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1425 - added tests for this (stevan)
1427 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1428 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1429 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1430 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1434 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1435 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1436 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1437 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1439 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1440 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1441 - added tests for this (rafl)
1443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1444 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1445 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1446 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1450 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1451 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1454 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1455 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1456 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1458 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1460 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1461 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1463 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1464 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1465 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1466 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1467 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1470 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1471 error message did not specify the attribute name
1474 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1476 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1478 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1479 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1480 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1482 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1483 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1486 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1488 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1489 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1490 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1491 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1493 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1495 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1496 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1497 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1498 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1500 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1501 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1502 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1505 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1506 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1507 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1508 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1510 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1511 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1512 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1513 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1514 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1517 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1518 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1519 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1520 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1521 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1523 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1524 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1525 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1526 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1527 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1528 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1531 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1533 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1534 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1535 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1536 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1538 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1539 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1542 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1546 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1547 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1549 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1550 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1551 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1552 guts. (nothingmuch).
1554 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1556 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1558 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1559 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1560 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1561 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1563 * Moose::Meta::Class
1564 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1567 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1568 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1570 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1571 * Moose::Unsweetened
1572 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1575 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1576 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1577 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1578 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1579 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1580 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1583 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1584 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1585 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1586 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1587 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1588 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1590 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1591 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1593 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1595 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1596 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1599 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1600 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1601 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1603 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1604 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1605 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1606 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1607 same methods for a single role did not work
1608 right (worked just fine with multiple
1610 - added test for this (stevan)
1612 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1613 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1614 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1617 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1618 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1619 - added test for this (t0m)
1622 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1623 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1624 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1626 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1627 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1628 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1629 - added test for this (t0m)
1631 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1632 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1633 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1634 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1635 - added test for this (perigrin)
1638 - create method for constructing a role
1639 dynamically (Sartak)
1640 - added test for this (Sartak)
1641 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1642 - added test for this (Sartak)
1645 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1647 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1648 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1649 methods is useful (Sartak)
1651 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1652 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1653 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1656 * Moose::Meta::Class
1657 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1658 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1659 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1660 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1661 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1662 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1665 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1666 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1668 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1670 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1671 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1672 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1674 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1676 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1677 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1678 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1681 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1682 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1683 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1684 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1685 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1686 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1689 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1690 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1691 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1692 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1693 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1694 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1695 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1696 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1697 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1698 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1699 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1701 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1702 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1705 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1706 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1707 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1708 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1709 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1711 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1713 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1714 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1715 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1718 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1720 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1721 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1722 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1723 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1726 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1727 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1729 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1731 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1732 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1734 * Moose::Meta::Class
1735 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1736 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1737 a required attribute
1739 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1740 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1741 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1742 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1744 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1745 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1748 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1749 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1750 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1751 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1752 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1753 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1754 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1756 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1757 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1758 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1760 * Roles and role application
1761 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1762 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1763 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1764 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1765 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1767 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1768 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1771 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1772 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1773 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1774 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1775 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1778 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1779 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1780 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1781 changes in the Moose internals.
1783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1784 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1785 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1788 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1789 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1790 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1791 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1794 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1795 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1796 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1798 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1799 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1800 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1801 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1802 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1803 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1804 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1805 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1806 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1807 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1808 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1809 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1810 constraint implementations.
1812 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1816 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1817 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1818 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1819 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1820 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1821 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 - added tests for this (rafl)
1824 * Moose::Meta::Class
1825 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1826 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1827 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1828 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1829 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1830 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1831 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1832 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1835 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1836 - added tests for this (thepler)
1838 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1839 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1840 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1841 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1844 * Moose::Meta::Class
1845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1846 * Moose::Meta::Method
1849 * Moose::Error::Default
1850 * Moose::Error::Croak
1851 * Moose::Error::Confess
1852 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1853 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1854 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1855 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1856 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1857 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1859 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1861 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1862 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 * Moose::Unsweetened
1865 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1866 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1867 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1870 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1871 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1872 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1873 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1876 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1877 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1879 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1880 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1881 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1882 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1885 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1887 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1888 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1890 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1893 - Various bug fixes.
1895 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1896 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1898 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1900 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1901 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1902 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1903 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1904 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1905 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1907 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1908 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1909 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1911 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1912 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1913 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1916 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1917 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1918 dependency to 0.64_07.
1920 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1921 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1922 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1925 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1928 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1929 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1930 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1931 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1932 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1933 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1935 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1936 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1938 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1940 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1941 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1945 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1946 method when that method was provided by another role being
1947 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1948 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1950 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1952 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1953 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1956 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1957 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1958 - added test for this (t0m)
1960 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1961 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1962 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1964 - added test for this (t0m)
1967 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1968 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1969 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1972 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1973 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1975 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1977 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1978 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1980 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1981 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1982 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1984 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1985 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1989 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1990 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1991 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1995 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1996 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1997 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2000 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2001 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2002 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2003 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2006 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2010 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2011 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2012 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2014 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2015 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2016 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2017 created so that the process can be more easily
2018 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2021 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2022 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2023 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2025 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2026 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2029 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2030 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2032 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2033 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2034 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2036 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2037 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2038 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2040 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2041 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2043 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2044 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2047 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2048 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2052 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2053 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2055 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2056 ... this is not my day today ...
2058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2059 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2060 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2061 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2062 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2065 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2066 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2067 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2068 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2069 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2072 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2074 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2075 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2076 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2077 this is not ever something you want to do
2078 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2079 - added tests for this (stevan)
2082 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2084 - added test for this

2104 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2107 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2108 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2109 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2110 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2111 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2112 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2113 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2114 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2115 - added tests for this
2117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2118 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2119 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2120 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2122 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2191 which was causing the indexer to choke
2193 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2194 (late night release engineering)--
2196 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2197 changes in this release

2221 - added more descriptive error message to help
2222 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2223 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2225 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2227 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2228 XS based functionality is now optional
2229 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2230 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2231 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2233 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2234 to take care of this, mostly we added
2235 support for the package_name and name

2305 ->body when looping through the
2306 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2308 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2309 eating the $@ values, and so not
2310 working correctly, it still kind of
2311 eats them, but so does vanilla perl

2334 drink more coffee before
2335 doing release engineering
2337 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2452 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2454 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2745 - added tests for this
2748 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2749 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2791 - fixed how required methods are handled
2792 when they encounter overriden or modified
2793 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2794 - added tests for this
2796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2797 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2798 the | always creates a union and so is
2799 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2800 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2802 - added more tests for this
2804 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2807 * Parameterized Types
2808 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2809 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2810 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2811 They can also be nested:
2812 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2813 And work with the type unions as well:
2814 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2816 * Better Framework Extendability
2817 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2818 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2819 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2820 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2823 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2824 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2825 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2826 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2829 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2831 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2832 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2891 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2892 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2894 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2895 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

2911 (thanks to shlomif).
2913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2914 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2915 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2916 - added tests for this

2964 (but not changing the handles option)
2965 - added tests and docs for this
2968 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2969 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2980 the other side (perigrin)
2982 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2983 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2984 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2985 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2986 prototypes for functions
2987 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2988 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2998 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3001 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3002 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3003 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3004 - added tests for this
3006 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3008 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3026 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3027 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3029 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3030 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3032 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3033 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3034 so this release is just to fix that.
3037 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3038 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3039 (thanks to konobi for this)
3040 - added tests and docs
3042 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3050 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3051 functions to facilitate introspection.
3053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3054 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3055 to build the list of delegated methods
3056 correctly (and not override important
3057 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3059 - added tests and docs for this
3060 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3061 so that you can actually document your
3062 attributes and inspect them through the
3064 - added tests and docs for this
3066 * Moose::Meta::Class
3067 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3068 it will first look in for the class in the
3069 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3070 then default to just loading $name.
3071 - added tests and docs for this
3073 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3074 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3075 - added test for this
3078 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3079 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3080 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3081 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3083 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3084 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3087 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3089 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3090 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3091 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3094 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3095 !! for this developer release to work !!
3097 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3098 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3099 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3100 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3101 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3102 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3103 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3104 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3105 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3106 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3107 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3109 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3110 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3111 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3112 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3115 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3117 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3118 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3119 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3121 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3123 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3124 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3127 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3128 called unless they actually need to be.
3129 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3130 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3131 DEMOLISH method present.
3133 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3134 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3135 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3136 type constraint, which allows for a
3137 hand optimized version of the type
3138 constraint to be used when possible.
3139 - Any internally created type constraints
3140 now provide an optimized version as well.
3142 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3144 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3145 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3146 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3148 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3149 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3150 your class namespace of these exported
3153 * Moose::Meta::Class
3154 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3155 comes up during global destruction
3157 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3161 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3165 - changed how we do type checks so that
3166 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3169 - moved accessor generation methods to
3170 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3171 conform to the API changes from
3174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3175 - changed how constraints are compiled
3176 so that we do less recursion and more
3177 iteration. This makes the type check
3179 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3183 - created this from methods formerly found in
3184 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3186 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3187 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3190 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3193 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3195 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3198 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3199 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3200 - added tests for this
3201 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3202 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3203 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3204 - removed tests for this
3206 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3208 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3209 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3210 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3213 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3214 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3215 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3217 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3218 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3219 comments for more info.
3222 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3223 asked questions and common problems
3225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3226 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3227 - added tests for this
3229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3230 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3231 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3232 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3234 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3235 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3238 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3239 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3240 is much appreciated :)
3241 - added tests for this
3243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3244 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3245 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3249 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3251 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3253 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3254 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3258 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3259 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3260 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3262 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3264 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3267 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3268 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3269 keywords because we need to localize them.
3270 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3272 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3273 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3274 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3277 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3280 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3281 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3282 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3285 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3286 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3287 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3289 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3291 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3292 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3293 bottom of your class file.
3296 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3299 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3301 - improved error message when loading modules so
3302 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3303 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3304 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3307 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3308 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3309 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3311 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3312 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3314 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3315 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3316 turn them on for you.
3317 - added tests for this
3318 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3319 in Moose::Meta::Class
3322 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3323 automatically turned on for you.
3324 - added tests for this
3327 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3328 - added tests for this
3329 - added some more edge case tests

3332 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3334 - added prototypes to the exported subs

3341 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3342 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3345 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3346 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3347 - This release works in combination with
3348 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3349 release because it uses the a new
3350 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3351 complete Role implementation. It has
3352 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3353 the the previous CPAN version. This
3354 release also lacks good updated docs,
3355 the official release will have updated docs.
3358 - refactored the keyword exports
3359 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3360 accepts more than one Role at a time
3361 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3362 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3365 - refactored the keyword exports
3366 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3367 accepts more than one Role at a time
3369 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3370 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3371 string enumerations which can be used as
3373 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3376 - more careful checking of params to new()
3379 - much work done on the role composition
3380 - many new tests for conflict detection
3381 and composition edge cases
3382 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3383 looking at the tests
3385 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3386 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3387 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3389 * Moose::Meta::Class
3390 - some small changes to support the new
3392 - some small additions to support Roles
3394 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3395 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3397 - some small changes to support the new
3399 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3400 with the 'handles' option
3401 - added several tests for this
3402 - no docs for this yet
3404 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3406 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3407 thanks to chansen for this commit
3408 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3409 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3410 on a per-attribute basis
3411 - added tests for this
3412 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3413 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3414 experimental feature and probably not finished
3415 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3416 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3417 - added tests for this
3420 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3422 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
3423 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
3424 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
3426 - added some tests for this
3427 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3428 thanks to chansen for this commit
3430 * Moose::Meta::Class
3431 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3432 construct_instance (for the better)
3434 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3435 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3436 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
3438 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3439 - added type constraint unions
3440 - added tests for this
3441 - added the is_subtype_of predicate method
