1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
9 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
10 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
11 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the fly.
15 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
16 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
19 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
20 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
21 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. (sartak)
25 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
26 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
28 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
32 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
34 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
38 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
41 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
42 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
43 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
45 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
48 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
52 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
54 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
58 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
60 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
64 * Include changes from 2.0010.
66 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
70 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
71 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
75 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
76 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
77 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
82 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
84 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
88 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
89 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
91 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
95 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
97 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
101 * Various packaging issues.
103 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
107 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
108 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
113 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
114 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
115 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
119 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
120 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
121 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
123 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
127 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
128 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
130 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
134 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
135 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
137 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
140 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
141 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
145 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
146 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
148 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
152 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
153 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
157 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
159 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
163 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
165 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
169 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
170 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
172 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
176 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
178 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
182 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
184 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
185 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
187 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
191 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
192 skips every other role. (rjbs)
194 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
195 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
196 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
197 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
198 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
200 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
204 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
205 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
206 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
209 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
214 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
216 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
217 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
219 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
223 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
224 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
225 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
229 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
230 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
232 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
233 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
235 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
236 environments. (doy, mateu)
238 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
242 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
243 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
244 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
245 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
249 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
250 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
252 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
256 * Update conflicts list.
259 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
263 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
264 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
265 details. (Dave Rolsky)
267 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
268 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
269 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
270 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
271 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
275 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
276 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
277 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
278 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
279 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
282 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
286 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
287 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
289 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
292 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
296 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
297 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
298 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
299 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
301 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
302 immutable classes). (mo)
304 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
305 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
306 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
308 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
312 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
314 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
316 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
320 * Fix some indexing issues.
322 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
324 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
328 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
329 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
330 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
331 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
332 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
334 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
335 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
340 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
341 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
342 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
343 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
345 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
346 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
347 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
351 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
352 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
355 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
359 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
360 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
364 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
368 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
369 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
370 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
371 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
374 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
378 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
381 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
385 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
386 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
387 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
390 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
394 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
395 policy. (Chris Prather)
397 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
398 on this new support policy. (doy)
402 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
403 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
404 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
406 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
407 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
409 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
413 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
414 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
415 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
416 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
419 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
423 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
424 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
427 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
431 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
432 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
434 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
435 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
439 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
440 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
441 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
442 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
443 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
444 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
446 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
447 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
449 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
450 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
451 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
452 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
454 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
455 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
457 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
462 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
463 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
465 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
469 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
470 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
471 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
473 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
477 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
478 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
479 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
481 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
482 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
485 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
486 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
489 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
490 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
491 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
493 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
494 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
499 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
500 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
501 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
502 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
504 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
505 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
507 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
508 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
510 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
511 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
512 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
513 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
515 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
516 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
517 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
520 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
521 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
522 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
523 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
526 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
529 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
530 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
531 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
533 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
537 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
538 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
539 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
541 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
542 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
543 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
546 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
547 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
548 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
550 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
551 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
552 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
554 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
555 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
559 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
560 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
561 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
563 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
564 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
565 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
566 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
568 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
572 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
573 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
574 value is a reference.
576 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
577 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
579 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
583 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
584 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
585 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
587 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
591 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
592 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
596 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
597 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
598 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
600 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
601 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
602 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
604 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
608 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
610 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
614 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
616 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
617 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
622 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
623 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
625 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
626 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
627 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
628 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
629 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
631 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
632 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
633 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
634 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
636 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
640 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
641 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
646 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
648 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
650 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
655 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
657 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
661 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
662 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
663 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
665 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
666 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
667 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
668 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
670 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
671 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
672 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
673 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
674 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
677 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
682 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
683 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
684 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
685 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
686 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
689 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
693 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
696 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
697 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
701 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
702 function (not just method). (doy)
706 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
707 and aren't easily installable/testable.
709 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
713 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
714 to be overridden more easily (doy).
716 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
720 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
721 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
723 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
727 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
728 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
729 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
731 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
735 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
736 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
737 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
739 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
740 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
744 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
745 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
747 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
748 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
752 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
753 is applied to a class (t0m).
755 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
756 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
758 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
761 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
762 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
764 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
765 be much more robust. (doy)
767 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
769 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
772 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
776 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
777 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
779 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
783 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
784 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
786 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
789 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
790 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
791 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
793 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
794 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
795 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
798 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
800 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
804 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
805 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
809 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
811 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
816 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
820 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
821 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
825 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
827 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
831 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
832 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
836 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
837 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
841 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
842 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
844 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
848 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
849 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
850 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
853 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
857 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
858 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
859 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
860 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
862 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
866 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
867 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
868 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
872 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
875 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
880 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
881 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
885 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
886 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
888 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
889 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
890 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
891 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
893 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
897 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
901 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
902 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
904 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
905 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
906 - Moose::Util::does_role
907 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
908 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
909 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
911 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
915 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
916 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
917 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
920 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
924 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
925 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
928 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
932 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
933 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
936 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
940 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
942 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
943 class. (Dave Rolsky).
945 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
946 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
947 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
949 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
950 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
951 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
954 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
955 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
957 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
958 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
959 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
961 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
963 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
964 substr et al, again. (sorear)
966 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
968 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
971 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
972 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
974 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
975 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
977 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
978 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
979 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
980 dependencies installed.
982 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
983 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
986 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
988 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
992 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
995 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
996 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
999 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1000 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1002 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1003 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1006 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1007 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1008 others. (nothingmuch)
1010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1011 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1012 remove_accessors. (doy)
1014 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1015 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1016 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1019 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1021 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1022 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1023 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1024 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Class
1027 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1028 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1031 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1033 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1035 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1036 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1039 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1040 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1041 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1042 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1043 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1045 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1046 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1048 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1049 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1050 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1051 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1054 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1055 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1056 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1057 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1058 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1060 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1061 which were not receiving the value of
1062 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1063 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1064 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1065 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1069 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1070 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1071 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1072 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1073 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1076 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1077 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1078 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1079 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1081 * Moose::Meta::Class
1082 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1083 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1084 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1087 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1089 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1092 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1093 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1096 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1097 class if you pass it options for
1098 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1099 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1100 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1101 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1102 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1103 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1104 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1105 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1106 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1108 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1109 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1110 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1111 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1112 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1115 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1117 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1118 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1121 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1122 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1123 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1124 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1125 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1128 * Moose::Error::Croak
1129 * Moose::Error::Confess
1130 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1131 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1134 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1137 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1138 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1139 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1141 * Moose::Meta::Class
1142 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1145 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1146 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1147 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1150 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1151 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1152 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1153 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1155 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1156 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1159 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1161 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1162 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1165 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1166 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1170 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1171 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1173 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1174 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1175 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1176 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1177 using it for new code!
1179 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1180 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1181 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1182 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1184 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1185 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1186 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1187 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1188 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1189 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1190 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1191 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1194 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1197 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1198 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1201 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1202 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1205 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1206 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1208 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1209 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1210 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1211 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1213 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1214 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1215 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1218 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1219 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1222 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1224 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1225 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1226 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1227 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1229 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1231 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1235 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1236 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1238 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1239 associated_methods. (hdp)
1240 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1241 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1242 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1243 misspelled) arguments
1245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1246 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1247 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1248 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1252 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1254 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1258 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1259 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1262 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1263 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1265 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1266 * Moose::Meta::Class
1267 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1268 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1270 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1271 * Moose::Manual::Types
1272 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1273 string parsing rathole (mst)
1275 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1276 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1277 using plain objects instead
1279 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1280 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1281 that's what we need.
1283 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1284 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1285 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1286 three times today (perigrin)
1287 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1288 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1291 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1292 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1293 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1296 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1297 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1298 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1299 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1300 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1301 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1304 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1305 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1306 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1307 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1310 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1312 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1315 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1317 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1320 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1321 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1322 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1326 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1327 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1330 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1331 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1333 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1334 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1335 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1337 * Moose::Unsweetened
1338 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1340 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1341 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1344 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1348 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1349 methods during global destruction (doy)
1351 * Moose::Meta::Class
1352 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1353 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1354 consumption (Sartak)
1356 * Moose::Meta::Class
1357 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1358 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1361 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1362 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1365 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1366 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1368 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1370 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1374 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1375 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1376 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1379 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1380 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1381 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1384 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1386 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1388 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1391 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1392 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1393 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1394 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1397 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1398 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1401 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1404 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1405 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1406 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1410 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1411 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1413 * Moose::Meta::Class
1414 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1416 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1418 * Moose::Meta::Class
1419 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1420 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1423 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1424 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1427 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1428 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1431 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1434 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1437 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1440 * Moose::Meta::Class
1441 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1443 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1444 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1447 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1448 * More deprecations and renamings
1449 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1450 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1451 when an object is constructed)
1454 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1455 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1456 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1459 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1460 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1461 feature, and it works again.
1464 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1466 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1468 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1469 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1470 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1473 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1474 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1475 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1476 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1478 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1479 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1480 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1481 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1482 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1485 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1486 metaclass object. (hdp)
1488 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1489 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1490 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1491 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1492 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1493 point out this fact. (hdp)
1495 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1496 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1498 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1499 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1501 * Moose::Meta::Class
1502 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1503 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1504 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1505 called during instance construction were passed the
1506 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1507 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1509 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1510 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1513 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1514 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1515 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1518 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1519 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1520 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1521 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1522 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1524 - Moose::Meta::Class
1525 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1527 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1528 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1529 when an object is constructed)
1530 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1532 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1533 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1534 when an object is constructed)
1535 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1536 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1537 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1540 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1542 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1543 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1545 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1547 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1548 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1549 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1552 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1553 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1555 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1557 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1558 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1560 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1561 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1564 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1565 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1568 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1569 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1570 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1572 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1573 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1577 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1578 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1579 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1582 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1585 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1586 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1587 with recommended workarounds.
1589 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1590 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1592 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1593 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1594 (yes, spelled like that).
1596 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1597 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1599 * Moose::Meta::Class
1600 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1601 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1603 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1605 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1606 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1607 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1608 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1609 instead. Reported by doy.
1611 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1613 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1614 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1617 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1618 message) is now deprecated.
1619 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1620 often got it wrong. For example:
1622 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1624 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1628 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1629 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1630 bite you in weird cases.
1632 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1633 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1634 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1635 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1637 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1638 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1642 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1645 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1646 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1650 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1652 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1653 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1656 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1658 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1659 - added tests for this (stevan)
1661 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1662 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1663 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1664 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1668 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1669 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1670 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1671 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1673 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1674 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1675 - added tests for this (rafl)
1677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1678 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1679 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1680 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1684 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1685 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1689 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1690 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1694 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1695 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1697 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1698 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1699 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1700 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1701 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1703 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1704 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1705 error message did not specify the attribute name
1708 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1710 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1712 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1713 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1714 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1716 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1717 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1720 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1722 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1723 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1724 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1725 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1727 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1729 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1730 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1731 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1732 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1734 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1735 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1736 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1738 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1739 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1740 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1741 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1742 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1744 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1745 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1746 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1747 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1748 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1750 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1751 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1752 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1753 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1754 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1755 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1757 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1758 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1759 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1760 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1761 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1762 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1764 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1765 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1767 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1768 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1769 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1770 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1772 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1773 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1776 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1780 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1781 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1783 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1784 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1785 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1786 guts. (nothingmuch).
1788 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1789 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1790 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1792 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1793 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1794 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1795 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1797 * Moose::Meta::Class
1798 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1801 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1802 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1804 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1805 * Moose::Unsweetened
1806 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1809 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1810 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1811 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1812 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1813 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1814 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1817 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1818 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1819 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1820 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1821 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1822 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1823 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1824 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1825 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1829 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1830 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1832 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1833 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1834 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1835 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1837 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1838 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1839 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1840 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1841 same methods for a single role did not work
1842 right (worked just fine with multiple
1844 - added test for this (stevan)
1846 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1847 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1848 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1851 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1852 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1853 - added test for this (t0m)
1856 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1857 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1858 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1861 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1862 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1863 - added test for this (t0m)
1865 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1866 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1867 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1868 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1869 - added test for this (perigrin)
1872 - create method for constructing a role
1873 dynamically (Sartak)
1874 - added test for this (Sartak)
1875 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1876 - added test for this (Sartak)
1879 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1881 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1882 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1883 methods is useful (Sartak)
1885 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1887 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1890 * Moose::Meta::Class
1891 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1892 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1893 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1894 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1895 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1899 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1900 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1902 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1903 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1904 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1905 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1906 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1908 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1910 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1911 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1912 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1915 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1916 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1917 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1918 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1919 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1920 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1924 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1925 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1926 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1927 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1928 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1929 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1930 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1931 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1932 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1933 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1935 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1936 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1939 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1940 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1941 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1942 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1943 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1945 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1947 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1948 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1949 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1951 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1952 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1955 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1956 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1957 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1960 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1961 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1963 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1965 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1966 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1968 * Moose::Meta::Class
1969 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1970 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1971 a required attribute
1973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1975 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1976 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1979 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1981 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1982 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1983 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1984 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1985 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1986 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1987 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1988 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1990 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1991 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1992 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1994 * Roles and role application
1995 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1996 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1997 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1998 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1999 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2001 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2002 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2005 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2006 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2007 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2008 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2009 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2012 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2013 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2014 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2015 changes in the Moose internals.
2017 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2019 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2022 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2023 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2024 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2025 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2027 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2028 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2029 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2030 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2033 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2034 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2035 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2036 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2037 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2038 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2039 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2040 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2041 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2042 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2043 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2044 constraint implementations.
2046 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2050 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2051 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2052 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2053 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2054 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2055 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2056 - added tests for this (rafl)
2058 * Moose::Meta::Class
2059 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2060 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2061 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2062 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2063 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2064 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2065 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2066 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2069 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2070 - added tests for this (thepler)
2072 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2073 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2074 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2075 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2078 * Moose::Meta::Class
2079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2080 * Moose::Meta::Method
2083 * Moose::Error::Default
2084 * Moose::Error::Croak
2085 * Moose::Error::Confess
2086 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2087 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2088 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2089 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2090 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2091 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2093 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2095 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2096 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2098 * Moose::Unsweetened
2099 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2100 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2101 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2103 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2104 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2105 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2106 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2107 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2110 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2111 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2113 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2114 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2115 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2116 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2152 dependency to 0.64_07.
2154 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2155 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2156 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2159 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2162 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2163 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2164 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2165 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2166 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2167 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2169 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2170 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2172 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2174 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2175 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

2192 - added test for this (t0m)
2194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2195 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2196 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2198 - added test for this (t0m)
2201 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2202 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2203 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2206 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2207 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2209 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2212 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2214 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2246 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2248 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2250 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2251 created so that the process can be more easily
2252 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2290 ... this is not my day today ...
2292 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2293 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2294 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2295 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2296 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2299 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2300 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2301 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2302 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2303 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2306 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2308 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2309 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2341 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2342 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2343 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2344 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2345 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2346 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2347 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2348 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2349 - added tests for this
2351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2352 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2353 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2454 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2455 - added more descriptive error message to help
2456 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2457 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2459 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2461 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2462 XS based functionality is now optional
2463 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2464 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2465 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2545 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2546 - added tests for this

2568 drink more coffee before
2569 doing release engineering
2571 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2686 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2688 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2728 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2731 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2732 when the method cannot be found, not sure why

2941 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2942 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2943 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2979 - added tests for this
2982 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2983 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3025 - fixed how required methods are handled
3026 when they encounter overriden or modified
3027 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3028 - added tests for this
3030 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3031 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3032 the | always creates a union and so is
3033 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3034 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3036 - added more tests for this
3038 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3041 * Parameterized Types
3042 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3043 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3044 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3045 They can also be nested:
3046 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3047 And work with the type unions as well:
3048 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3050 * Better Framework Extendability
3051 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3052 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3053 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3054 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3057 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3058 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3059 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3060 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3063 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3065 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3066 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3294 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3295 so that you can actually document your
3296 attributes and inspect them through the

3300 * Moose::Meta::Class
3301 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3302 it will first look in for the class in the
3303 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3304 then default to just loading $name.
3305 - added tests and docs for this
3307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3308 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3309 - added test for this

3314 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3315 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3317 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3318 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3321 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3323 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3324 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3325 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3328 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3329 !! for this developer release to work !!
3331 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3332 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3333 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3334 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3335 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3336 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3337 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3338 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3339 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3340 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3341 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3343 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3344 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3345 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3346 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3349 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3350 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3351 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3352 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3353 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3355 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3357 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3358 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3361 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3362 called unless they actually need to be.
3363 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3364 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3365 DEMOLISH method present.
3367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3369 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3370 type constraint, which allows for a
3371 hand optimized version of the type
3372 constraint to be used when possible.
3373 - Any internally created type constraints
3374 now provide an optimized version as well.
3376 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3378 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3379 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3380 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3383 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3384 your class namespace of these exported
3387 * Moose::Meta::Class
3388 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3389 comes up during global destruction
3391 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3395 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3399 - changed how we do type checks so that
3400 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3403 - moved accessor generation methods to
3404 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3405 conform to the API changes from
3408 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3409 - changed how constraints are compiled
3410 so that we do less recursion and more
3411 iteration. This makes the type check
3413 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3417 - created this from methods formerly found in
3418 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3420 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3421 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3423 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3424 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3427 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3429 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3432 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3433 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3434 - added tests for this
3435 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3436 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3437 broke predicates in an ugly way.

3440 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3442 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3443 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3444 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3447 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3448 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3449 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3451 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3452 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3453 comments for more info.
3456 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3457 asked questions and common problems
3459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3460 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3461 - added tests for this
3463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3464 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3465 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3466 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3468 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3469 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3472 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3473 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3474 is much appreciated :)
3475 - added tests for this
3477 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3478 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3479 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3482 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3483 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3485 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3487 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3488 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3492 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3493 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3494 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3496 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3498 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3501 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3502 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3503 keywords because we need to localize them.
3504 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3506 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3507 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3508 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3511 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3515 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3516 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3519 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3520 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3521 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3523 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3525 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3526 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3527 bottom of your class file.
3530 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3533 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3535 - improved error message when loading modules so
3536 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3537 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3538 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3541 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3542 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3543 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3546 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3548 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3549 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3550 turn them on for you.
3551 - added tests for this
3552 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3553 in Moose::Meta::Class
3556 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3557 automatically turned on for you.
3558 - added tests for this
3561 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3562 - added tests for this
3563 - added some more edge case tests

3576 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3579 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3580 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3581 - This release works in combination with
3582 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3583 release because it uses the a new
3584 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3585 complete Role implementation. It has
3586 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3587 the the previous CPAN version. This
3588 release also lacks good updated docs,
3589 the official release will have updated docs.
3592 - refactored the keyword exports
3593 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3594 accepts more than one Role at a time
3595 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3596 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3599 - refactored the keyword exports
3600 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3601 accepts more than one Role at a time
3603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3604 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3605 string enumerations which can be used as
3607 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3610 - more careful checking of params to new()
3613 - much work done on the role composition
3614 - many new tests for conflict detection
3615 and composition edge cases
3616 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3617 looking at the tests
3619 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3620 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3621 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3623 * Moose::Meta::Class
3624 - some small changes to support the new
3626 - some small additions to support Roles
3628 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3629 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3631 - some small changes to support the new
3633 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3634 with the 'handles' option
3635 - added several tests for this
3636 - no docs for this yet
3638 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3640 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3641 thanks to chansen for this commit
3642 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3643 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3644 on a per-attribute basis
3645 - added tests for this
3646 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3647 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3648 experimental feature and probably not finished
3649 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3650 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3651 - added tests for this

3713 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3715 - added test for this
3718 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
