1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * mro::get_linear_isa is called as a function rather than a method
12 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
13 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
18 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
20 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
22 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
27 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
29 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
33 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
34 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
35 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
37 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
38 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
39 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
40 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
42 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
43 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
44 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
45 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
46 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
49 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
54 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
55 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
56 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
57 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
58 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
61 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
65 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
68 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
69 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
73 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
74 function (not just method). (doy)
78 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
79 and aren't easily installable/testable.
81 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
85 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
86 to be overridden more easily (doy).
88 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
92 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
93 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
95 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
99 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
100 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
101 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
103 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
107 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
108 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
109 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
111 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
112 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
116 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
117 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
119 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
120 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
124 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
125 is applied to a class (t0m).
127 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
128 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
130 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
133 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
134 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
136 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
137 be much more robust. (doy)
139 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
141 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
144 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
148 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
149 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
151 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
155 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
156 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
158 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
161 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
162 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
163 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
165 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
166 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
167 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
170 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
172 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
176 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
177 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
181 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
183 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
188 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
192 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
193 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
197 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
199 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
203 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
204 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
208 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
209 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
213 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
214 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
216 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
220 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
221 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
222 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
225 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
229 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
230 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
231 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
232 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
234 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
238 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
239 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
240 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
244 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
247 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
252 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
253 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
257 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
258 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
260 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
261 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
262 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
263 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
265 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
269 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
273 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
274 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
276 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
277 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
278 - Moose::Util::does_role
279 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
280 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
281 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
283 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
287 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
288 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
289 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
292 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
296 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
297 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
300 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
304 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
305 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
308 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
312 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
314 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
315 class. (Dave Rolsky).
317 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
318 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
319 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
321 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
322 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
323 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
326 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
327 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
329 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
330 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
331 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
333 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
335 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
336 substr et al, again. (sorear)
338 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
340 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
343 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
344 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
346 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
347 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
349 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
350 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
351 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
352 dependencies installed.
354 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
355 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
358 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
360 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
364 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
367 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
368 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
370 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
371 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
372 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
374 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
375 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
378 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
379 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
380 others. (nothingmuch)
382 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
383 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
384 remove_accessors. (doy)
386 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
387 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
388 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
390 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
391 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
393 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
394 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
395 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
396 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
399 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
400 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
403 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
405 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
407 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
408 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
412 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
413 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
414 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
415 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
417 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
418 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
420 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
421 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
422 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
423 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
426 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
427 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
428 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
429 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
430 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
432 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
433 which were not receiving the value of
434 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
435 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
436 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
437 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
441 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
442 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
443 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
444 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
445 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
449 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
450 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
451 - added tests for this (Stevan)
454 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
455 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
456 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
459 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
460 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
461 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
464 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
465 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
468 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
469 class if you pass it options for
470 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
471 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
472 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
473 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
474 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
475 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
476 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
477 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
478 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
480 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
481 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
482 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
483 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
484 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
487 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
489 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
490 existing delegation API. (hdp)
492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
493 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
494 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
495 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
496 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
497 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
500 * Moose::Error::Croak
501 * Moose::Error::Confess
502 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
503 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
506 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
509 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
510 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
511 installing a broken sub. (doy)
514 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
517 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
518 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
519 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
521 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
522 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
523 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
524 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
525 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
527 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
528 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
531 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
533 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
534 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
537 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
538 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
540 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
542 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
543 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
545 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
546 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
547 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
548 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
549 using it for new code!
551 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
552 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
553 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
554 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
556 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
557 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
558 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
559 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
560 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
561 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
562 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
563 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
566 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
569 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
570 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
573 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
574 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
577 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
578 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
582 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
583 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
586 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
587 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
590 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
591 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
594 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
595 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
596 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
597 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
598 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
599 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
601 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
603 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
606 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
607 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
608 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
610 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
611 associated_methods. (hdp)
612 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
613 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
614 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
615 misspelled) arguments
617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
618 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
619 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
620 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
623 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
624 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
626 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
630 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
631 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
634 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
635 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
637 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
639 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
640 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
642 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
643 * Moose::Manual::Types
644 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
645 string parsing rathole (mst)
647 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
648 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
649 using plain objects instead
651 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
652 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
655 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
657 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
658 three times today (perigrin)
659 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
660 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
663 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
664 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
665 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
668 - A role's required methods are now represented by
669 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
670 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
671 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
672 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
673 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
676 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
677 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
678 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
679 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
682 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
684 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
687 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
689 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
692 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
693 during global destruction. This method has been made more
694 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
698 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
699 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
702 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
703 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
705 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
706 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
707 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
710 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
712 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
713 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
716 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
720 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
721 methods during global destruction (doy)
724 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
725 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
729 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
730 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
733 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
734 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
737 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
738 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
740 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
742 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
746 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
747 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
748 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
751 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
752 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
753 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
756 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
758 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
760 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
764 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
765 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
766 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
768 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
769 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
770 of the Moose core (Sartak)
773 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
776 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
777 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
778 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
782 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
783 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
786 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
788 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
791 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
792 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
795 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
796 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
799 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
800 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
803 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
806 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
809 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
813 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
815 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
816 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
819 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
820 * More deprecations and renamings
821 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
822 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
823 when an object is constructed)
826 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
827 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
828 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
830 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
831 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
832 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
833 feature, and it works again.
836 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
838 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
840 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
841 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
842 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
844 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
845 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
846 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
847 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
848 message. Test provided by perigrin.
850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
851 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
852 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
853 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
854 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
857 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
858 metaclass object. (hdp)
860 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
861 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
862 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
863 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
864 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
865 point out this fact. (hdp)
867 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
868 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
870 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
871 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
874 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
875 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
876 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
877 called during instance construction were passed the
878 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
879 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
881 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
882 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
885 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
886 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
887 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
890 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
891 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
892 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
893 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
894 them, but they are not for "public" use.
897 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
899 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
900 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
901 when an object is constructed)
902 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
904 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
905 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
906 when an object is constructed)
907 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
908 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
909 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
912 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
914 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
915 * No changes from 0.72_01.
917 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
919 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
920 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
921 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
924 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
925 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
927 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
929 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
930 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
932 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
933 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
936 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
937 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
940 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
941 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
942 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
944 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
945 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
949 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
950 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
951 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
953 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
954 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
957 * Moose::Manual::Delta
958 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
959 with recommended workarounds.
961 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
962 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
965 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
966 (yes, spelled like that).
968 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
969 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
972 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
973 changes in latest Class::MOP.
975 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
977 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
978 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
979 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
980 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
981 instead. Reported by doy.
983 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
985 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
986 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
989 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
990 message) is now deprecated.
991 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
992 often got it wrong. For example:
994 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
996 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1000 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1001 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1002 bite you in weird cases.
1004 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1005 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1006 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1007 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1010 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1014 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1017 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1018 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1021 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1022 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1024 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1025 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1028 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1030 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1031 - added tests for this (stevan)
1033 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1034 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1035 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1036 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1040 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1041 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1042 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1043 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1045 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1046 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1047 - added tests for this (rafl)
1049 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1050 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1051 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1052 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1056 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1057 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1060 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1061 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1062 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1064 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1066 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1067 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1069 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1070 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1071 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1072 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1073 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1076 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1077 error message did not specify the attribute name
1080 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1082 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1084 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1085 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1086 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1088 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1089 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1092 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1094 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1095 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1096 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1097 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1099 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1101 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1102 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1103 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1104 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1107 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1108 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1111 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1112 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1113 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1114 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1116 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1117 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1118 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1119 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1120 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1123 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1124 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1125 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1126 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1127 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1129 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1130 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1131 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1132 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1133 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1134 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1137 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1139 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1140 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1141 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1142 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1145 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1148 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1152 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1153 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1156 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1157 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1158 guts. (nothingmuch).
1160 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1161 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1162 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1165 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1166 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1167 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Class
1170 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1173 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1174 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1176 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1177 * Moose::Unsweetened
1178 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1181 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1182 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1183 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1184 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1185 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1186 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1188 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1189 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1190 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1191 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1192 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1193 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1194 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1196 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1197 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1199 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1201 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1202 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1204 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1205 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1206 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1207 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1209 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1210 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1211 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1212 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1213 same methods for a single role did not work
1214 right (worked just fine with multiple
1216 - added test for this (stevan)
1218 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1219 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1220 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1223 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1224 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1225 - added test for this (t0m)
1228 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1229 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1230 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1233 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1234 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1235 - added test for this (t0m)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1238 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1239 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1240 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1241 - added test for this (perigrin)
1244 - create method for constructing a role
1245 dynamically (Sartak)
1246 - added test for this (Sartak)
1247 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1248 - added test for this (Sartak)
1251 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1253 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1254 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1255 methods is useful (Sartak)
1257 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1259 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1262 * Moose::Meta::Class
1263 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1264 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1265 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1266 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1267 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1268 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1271 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1272 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1274 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1275 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1276 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1277 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1278 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1280 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1282 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1283 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1284 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1287 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1288 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1289 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1290 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1291 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1292 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1295 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1296 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1297 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1298 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1299 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1300 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1301 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1302 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1303 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1304 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1305 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1308 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1311 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1312 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1313 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1314 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1315 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1317 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1319 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1320 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1321 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1324 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1326 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1327 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1328 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1329 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1332 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1333 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1335 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1337 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1338 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1340 * Moose::Meta::Class
1341 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1342 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1343 a required attribute
1345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1346 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1347 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1348 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1350 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1351 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1353 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1354 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1355 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1356 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1357 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1358 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1359 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1360 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1362 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1363 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1364 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1366 * Roles and role application
1367 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1368 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1369 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1370 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1371 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1373 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1374 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1377 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1378 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1379 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1380 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1381 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1384 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1385 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1386 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1387 changes in the Moose internals.
1389 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1390 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1391 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1394 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1395 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1396 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1397 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1400 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1401 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1402 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1404 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1405 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1406 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1407 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1408 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1409 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1410 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1411 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1412 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1413 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1414 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1415 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1416 constraint implementations.
1418 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1422 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1423 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1424 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1425 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1426 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1427 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1428 - added tests for this (rafl)
1430 * Moose::Meta::Class
1431 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1432 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1433 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1434 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1435 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1436 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1437 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1438 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1441 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1442 - added tests for this (thepler)
1444 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1445 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1446 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1447 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1450 * Moose::Meta::Class
1451 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1452 * Moose::Meta::Method
1455 * Moose::Error::Default
1456 * Moose::Error::Croak
1457 * Moose::Error::Confess
1458 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1459 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1460 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1461 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1462 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1463 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1465 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1467 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1468 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1470 * Moose::Unsweetened
1471 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1472 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1473 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1476 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1477 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1478 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1479 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1482 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1483 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1485 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1486 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1487 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1488 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1507 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1508 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

1528 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1530 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1531 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1534 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1535 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1536 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1537 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1538 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1539 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1541 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1542 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1544 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1546 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1547 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1551 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1552 method when that method was provided by another role being
1553 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1554 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1556 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1564 - added test for this (t0m)
1566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1567 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1568 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1570 - added test for this (t0m)
1573 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1574 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1575 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1579 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1581 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1583 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1584 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1586 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1587 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1588 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1591 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1594 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1597 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1601 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1602 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1603 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1607 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1608 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1609 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1612 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1616 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1618 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1620 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1621 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1622 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1623 created so that the process can be more easily

1649 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1650 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1653 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1654 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1658 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1659 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1661 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1662 ... this is not my day today ...
1664 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1665 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1666 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1667 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1668 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1671 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1672 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1673 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1674 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1675 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1678 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1680 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1681 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1682 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1683 this is not ever something you want to do
1684 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1685 - added tests for this (stevan)
1688 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1690 - added test for this

1699 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1701 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1702 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1703 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1706 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1708 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1710 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1713 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1714 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1715 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1716 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1717 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1718 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1719 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1720 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1721 - added tests for this
1723 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1724 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1725 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1726 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1728 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1783 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1784 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1787 - move the ClassName type check code to
1788 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1790 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1791 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1793 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1794 (early morning release engineering)--
1796 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1797 which was causing the indexer to choke
1799 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1800 (late night release engineering)--
1802 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1803 changes in this release
1805 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

1811 since it is called so often by &meta
1813 * Moose::Meta::Class
1815 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1816 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1819 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1820 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1821 method for immutablization to check if the
1822 destructor object even needs to be created
1825 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1826 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1827 - added more descriptive error message to help
1828 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1829 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1831 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1833 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1834 XS based functionality is now optional
1835 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1836 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1837 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1839 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1840 to take care of this, mostly we added
1841 support for the package_name and name
1842 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1843 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1844 support regexp matching of names
1845 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1846 - tests added for this
1847 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1848 is currently not supported in roles,
1849 but, ... patches welcome
1850 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1851 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1852 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1855 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1856 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1857 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1858 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1859 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1860 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1861 - added test for this
1863 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1864 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1865 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1868 * Moose::Meta::Class
1869 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1873 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1875 - added tests for this
1876 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1877 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1880 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1881 themselves parameterizable types
1883 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1884 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1885 called by the inlined immutable
1887 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1889 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1890 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1891 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1892 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1894 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1895 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1907 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1910 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1911 ->body when looping through the
1912 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1914 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1915 eating the $@ values, and so not
1916 working correctly, it still kind of
1917 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1918 - added tests for this
1920 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1921 - added new recipe for immutable
1922 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1924 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1940 drink more coffee before
1941 doing release engineering
1943 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1944 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1945 modules. This fixes that.

1948 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1949 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1958 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1959 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1961 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1962 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1963 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1964 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1970 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1971 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

1975 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1977 - added test for this
1979 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2058 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2060 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2065 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2100 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2104 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2105 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2106 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2108 - added more delegation tests

2351 - added tests for this
2354 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2355 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2397 - fixed how required methods are handled
2398 when they encounter overriden or modified
2399 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2400 - added tests for this
2402 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2403 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2404 the | always creates a union and so is
2405 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2406 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2408 - added more tests for this
2410 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2413 * Parameterized Types
2414 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2415 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2416 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2417 They can also be nested:
2418 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2419 And work with the type unions as well:
2420 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2422 * Better Framework Extendability
2423 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2424 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2425 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2426 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2429 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2430 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2431 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2432 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2435 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2437 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2672 * Moose::Meta::Class
2673 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

2676 then default to just loading $name.
2677 - added tests and docs for this
2679 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2680 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2681 - added test for this

2689 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2690 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2693 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2695 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2696 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2697 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2700 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2701 !! for this developer release to work !!
2703 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2704 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2705 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2706 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2707 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2708 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2709 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2710 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2711 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2712 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2713 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2715 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2716 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2717 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2718 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2721 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2722 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2723 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2724 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2725 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2727 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2729 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2730 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2733 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2734 called unless they actually need to be.
2735 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2736 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2737 DEMOLISH method present.
2739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2740 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2741 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2742 type constraint, which allows for a
2743 hand optimized version of the type
2744 constraint to be used when possible.
2745 - Any internally created type constraints
2746 now provide an optimized version as well.
2748 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2750 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2751 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2752 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2755 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2756 your class namespace of these exported
2759 * Moose::Meta::Class
2760 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2761 comes up during global destruction
2763 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2767 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2770 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2771 - changed how we do type checks so that
2772 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2775 - moved accessor generation methods to
2776 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2777 conform to the API changes from
2780 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2781 - changed how constraints are compiled
2782 so that we do less recursion and more
2783 iteration. This makes the type check
2785 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2789 - created this from methods formerly found in
2790 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2792 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2793 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2795 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2796 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2799 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2801 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2804 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2805 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2806 - added tests for this
2807 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2808 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2809 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2810 - removed tests for this
2812 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2814 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2815 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2816 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2819 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2820 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2821 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2823 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2824 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2825 comments for more info.
2828 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2829 asked questions and common problems
2831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2832 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2833 - added tests for this
2835 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2836 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2837 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2838 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2840 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2841 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2844 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2845 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2846 is much appreciated :)
2847 - added tests for this
2849 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2850 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2851 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2855 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2857 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2859 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2860 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2864 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2865 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2866 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2868 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2870 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2873 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2874 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2875 keywords because we need to localize them.
2876 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2878 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2879 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2880 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2883 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2886 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2887 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2888 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2891 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2892 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2893 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2895 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2897 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2898 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2899 bottom of your class file.
2902 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2905 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2907 - improved error message when loading modules so
2908 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2909 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2910 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2913 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2914 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2915 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2917 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2918 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2920 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2921 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2922 turn them on for you.
2923 - added tests for this
2924 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2925 in Moose::Meta::Class
2928 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2929 automatically turned on for you.

2951 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2952 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2953 - This release works in combination with
2954 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2955 release because it uses the a new
2956 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2957 complete Role implementation. It has
2958 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2959 the the previous CPAN version. This
2960 release also lacks good updated docs,
2961 the official release will have updated docs.
2964 - refactored the keyword exports
2965 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2966 accepts more than one Role at a time
2967 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2968 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2971 - refactored the keyword exports
2972 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2973 accepts more than one Role at a time
2975 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2976 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2977 string enumerations which can be used as
2979 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2982 - more careful checking of params to new()
2985 - much work done on the role composition
2986 - many new tests for conflict detection
2987 and composition edge cases
2988 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2989 looking at the tests
2991 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2992 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2993 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2995 * Moose::Meta::Class
2996 - some small changes to support the new
2998 - some small additions to support Roles
3000 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3001 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3003 - some small changes to support the new
3005 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3006 with the 'handles' option
3007 - added several tests for this
3008 - no docs for this yet
3010 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3012 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3013 thanks to chansen for this commit
3014 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3015 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3016 on a per-attribute basis
3017 - added tests for this
3018 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3019 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3020 experimental feature and probably not finished

3022 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3023 - added tests for this

3085 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3087 - added test for this
3090 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
