1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
9 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
10 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
13 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
14 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
16 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
17 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
23 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
24 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
25 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
27 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
28 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
29 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
32 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
33 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
34 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
36 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
37 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
38 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
40 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
41 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
45 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
46 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
47 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
49 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
50 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
51 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
52 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
54 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
58 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
59 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
62 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
63 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
65 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
69 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
70 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
71 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
73 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
77 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
78 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
82 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
83 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
84 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
86 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
87 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
88 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
90 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
94 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
96 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
100 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
102 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
103 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
108 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
109 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
111 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
112 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
113 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
114 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
115 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
117 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
118 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
119 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
120 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
122 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
126 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
127 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
132 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
134 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
136 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
141 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
143 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
147 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
148 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
149 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
151 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
152 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
153 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
154 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
156 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
157 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
158 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
159 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
160 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
163 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
168 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
169 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
170 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
171 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
172 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
175 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
179 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
182 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
183 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
187 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
188 function (not just method). (doy)
192 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
193 and aren't easily installable/testable.
195 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
199 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
200 to be overridden more easily (doy).
202 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
206 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
207 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
209 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
213 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
214 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
215 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
217 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
221 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
222 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
223 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
225 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
226 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
230 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
231 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
233 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
234 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
238 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
239 is applied to a class (t0m).
241 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
242 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
244 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
247 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
248 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
250 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
251 be much more robust. (doy)
253 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
255 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
258 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
262 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
263 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
265 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
269 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
270 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
272 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
275 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
276 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
277 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
279 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
280 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
281 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
284 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
286 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
290 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
291 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
295 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
297 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
302 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
306 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
307 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
311 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
313 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
317 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
318 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
322 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
323 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
327 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
328 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
330 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
334 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
335 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
336 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
339 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
343 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
344 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
345 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
346 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
348 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
352 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
353 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
354 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
358 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
361 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
366 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
367 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
371 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
372 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
374 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
375 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
376 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
377 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
379 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
383 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
387 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
388 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
390 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
391 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
392 - Moose::Util::does_role
393 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
394 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
395 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
397 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
401 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
402 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
403 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
406 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
410 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
411 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
414 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
418 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
419 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
422 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
426 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
428 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
429 class. (Dave Rolsky).
431 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
432 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
433 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
435 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
436 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
437 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
440 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
441 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
443 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
444 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
445 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
447 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
449 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
450 substr et al, again. (sorear)
452 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
454 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
457 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
458 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
460 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
461 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
463 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
464 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
465 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
466 dependencies installed.
468 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
469 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
472 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
474 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
478 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
481 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
482 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
485 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
486 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
488 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
489 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
492 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
493 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
494 others. (nothingmuch)
496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
497 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
498 remove_accessors. (doy)
500 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
501 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
502 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
505 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
507 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
509 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
510 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
513 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
514 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
517 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
519 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
521 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
522 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
525 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
526 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
527 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
528 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
529 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
531 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
534 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
535 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
536 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
537 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
540 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
541 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
542 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
543 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
544 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
546 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
547 which were not receiving the value of
548 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
549 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
550 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
551 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
555 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
556 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
557 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
558 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
559 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
563 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
564 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
565 - added tests for this (Stevan)
568 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
569 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
570 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
573 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
575 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
578 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
579 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
582 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
583 class if you pass it options for
584 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
585 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
586 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
587 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
588 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
589 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
590 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
591 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
592 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
594 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
595 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
596 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
597 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
598 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
601 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
603 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
604 existing delegation API. (hdp)
606 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
607 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
608 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
609 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
610 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
611 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
614 * Moose::Error::Croak
615 * Moose::Error::Confess
616 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
617 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
620 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
623 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
624 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
625 installing a broken sub. (doy)
628 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
631 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
632 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
633 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
635 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
636 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
637 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
638 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
639 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
641 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
642 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
645 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
647 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
648 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
651 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
652 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
654 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
656 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
657 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
659 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
660 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
661 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
662 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
663 using it for new code!
665 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
666 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
667 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
668 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
670 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
671 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
672 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
673 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
674 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
675 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
676 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
677 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
680 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
683 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
684 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
687 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
688 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
691 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
692 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
695 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
696 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
697 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
700 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
701 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
703 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
704 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
705 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
708 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
710 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
711 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
712 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
713 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
715 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
717 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
721 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
722 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
724 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
725 associated_methods. (hdp)
726 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
727 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
728 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
729 misspelled) arguments
731 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
732 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
733 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
734 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
737 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
738 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
740 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
743 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
744 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
745 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
748 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
749 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
751 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
753 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
754 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
756 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
757 * Moose::Manual::Types
758 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
759 string parsing rathole (mst)
761 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
762 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
763 using plain objects instead
765 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
766 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
769 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
771 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
772 three times today (perigrin)
773 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
774 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
776 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
777 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
778 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
779 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
782 - A role's required methods are now represented by
783 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
784 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
785 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
786 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
787 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
790 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
791 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
792 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
793 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
796 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
798 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
801 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
803 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
806 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
807 during global destruction. This method has been made more
808 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
812 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
813 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
816 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
817 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
819 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
820 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
821 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
824 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
826 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
827 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
830 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
834 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
835 methods during global destruction (doy)
838 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
839 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
843 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
844 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
847 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
848 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
851 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
852 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
854 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
856 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
860 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
861 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
862 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
865 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
866 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
867 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
870 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
872 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
873 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
874 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
877 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
878 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
879 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
880 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
882 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
883 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
884 of the Moose core (Sartak)
887 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
890 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
891 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
892 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
896 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
897 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
900 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
902 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
905 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
906 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
909 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
910 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
913 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
914 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
917 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
920 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
922 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
923 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
927 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
929 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
930 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
933 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
934 * More deprecations and renamings
935 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
936 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
937 when an object is constructed)
940 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
941 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
942 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
944 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
945 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
946 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
947 feature, and it works again.
950 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
952 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
954 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
955 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
956 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
958 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
959 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
960 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
961 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
962 message. Test provided by perigrin.
964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
965 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
966 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
967 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
968 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
971 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
972 metaclass object. (hdp)
974 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
975 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
976 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
977 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
978 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
979 point out this fact. (hdp)
981 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
982 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
984 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
985 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
988 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
989 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
990 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
991 called during instance construction were passed the
992 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
993 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
995 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
996 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
999 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1000 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1001 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1004 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1005 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1006 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1007 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1008 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1010 - Moose::Meta::Class
1011 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1013 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1014 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1015 when an object is constructed)
1016 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1018 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1019 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1020 when an object is constructed)
1021 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1022 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1023 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1026 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1028 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1029 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1031 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1033 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1034 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1035 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1037 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1038 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1039 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1041 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1043 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1044 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1046 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1047 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1050 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1051 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1054 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1055 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1056 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1059 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1063 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1064 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1065 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1067 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1068 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1071 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1072 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1073 with recommended workarounds.
1075 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1076 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1078 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1079 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1080 (yes, spelled like that).
1082 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1083 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1085 * Moose::Meta::Class
1086 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1087 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1089 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1091 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1092 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1093 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1094 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1095 instead. Reported by doy.
1097 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1099 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1100 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1103 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1104 message) is now deprecated.
1105 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1106 often got it wrong. For example:
1108 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1110 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1114 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1115 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1116 bite you in weird cases.
1118 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1119 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1120 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1121 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1124 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1128 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1131 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1132 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1135 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1136 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1139 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1142 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1144 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1145 - added tests for this (stevan)
1147 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1148 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1149 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1150 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1154 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1155 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1156 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1157 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1159 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1160 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1161 - added tests for this (rafl)
1163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1164 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1165 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1166 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1170 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1171 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1174 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1175 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1176 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1178 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1180 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1181 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1184 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1185 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1186 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1187 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1190 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1191 error message did not specify the attribute name
1194 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1196 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1198 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1199 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1200 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1203 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1206 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1208 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1209 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1210 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1211 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1213 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1215 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1216 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1217 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1218 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1221 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1222 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1225 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1226 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1227 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1228 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1231 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1232 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1233 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1234 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1236 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1237 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1238 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1239 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1240 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1241 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1243 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1244 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1245 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1246 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1247 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1248 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1251 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1253 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1254 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1255 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1256 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1258 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1259 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1262 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1266 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1267 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1269 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1270 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1271 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1272 guts. (nothingmuch).
1274 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1275 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1276 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1279 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1280 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1281 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1283 * Moose::Meta::Class
1284 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1287 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1288 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1290 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1291 * Moose::Unsweetened
1292 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1295 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1296 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1297 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1298 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1299 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1300 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1303 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1304 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1305 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1306 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1307 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1308 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1309 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1310 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1311 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1313 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1315 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1316 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1319 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1320 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1321 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1323 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1324 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1325 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1326 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1327 same methods for a single role did not work
1328 right (worked just fine with multiple
1330 - added test for this (stevan)
1332 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1333 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1334 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1337 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1338 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1339 - added test for this (t0m)
1342 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1343 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1344 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1347 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1348 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1349 - added test for this (t0m)
1351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1352 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1353 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1354 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1355 - added test for this (perigrin)
1358 - create method for constructing a role
1359 dynamically (Sartak)
1360 - added test for this (Sartak)
1361 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1362 - added test for this (Sartak)
1365 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1367 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1368 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1369 methods is useful (Sartak)
1371 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1372 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1373 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1376 * Moose::Meta::Class
1377 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1378 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1379 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1380 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1381 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1382 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1385 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1386 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1388 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1389 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1390 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1391 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1392 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1394 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1396 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1397 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1398 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1401 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1402 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1403 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1404 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1405 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1406 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1410 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1411 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1412 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1413 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1414 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1415 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1416 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1417 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1418 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1419 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1421 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1422 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1425 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1426 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1427 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1428 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1429 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1431 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1433 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1434 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1435 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1438 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1440 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1441 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1442 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1443 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1446 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1447 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1449 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1451 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1452 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1454 * Moose::Meta::Class
1455 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1456 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1457 a required attribute
1459 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1460 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1461 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1462 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1465 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1468 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1469 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1470 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1471 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1472 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1473 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1474 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1476 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1477 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1478 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1480 * Roles and role application
1481 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1482 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1483 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1484 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1485 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1487 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1488 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1491 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1492 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1493 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1494 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1495 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1498 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1499 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1500 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1501 changes in the Moose internals.
1503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1505 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1508 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1509 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1510 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1511 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1514 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1515 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1516 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1518 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1519 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1520 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1521 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1522 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1523 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1524 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1525 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1526 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1527 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1528 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1529 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1530 constraint implementations.
1532 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1536 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1537 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1538 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1539 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1540 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1541 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1542 - added tests for this (rafl)
1544 * Moose::Meta::Class
1545 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1546 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1547 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1548 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1549 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1550 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1551 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1552 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1555 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1556 - added tests for this (thepler)
1558 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1559 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1560 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1561 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1564 * Moose::Meta::Class
1565 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1566 * Moose::Meta::Method
1569 * Moose::Error::Default
1570 * Moose::Error::Croak
1571 * Moose::Error::Confess
1572 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1573 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1574 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1575 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1576 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1577 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1579 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1581 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1582 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1584 * Moose::Unsweetened
1585 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1586 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1587 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1590 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1591 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1592 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1593 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1596 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1597 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1599 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1600 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1601 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1602 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1605 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1607 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1608 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1610 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1613 - Various bug fixes.
1615 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1616 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1618 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1620 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1621 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1622 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1623 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1624 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1625 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1627 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1628 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1629 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1631 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1632 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1633 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1636 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1637 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1638 dependency to 0.64_07.
1640 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1641 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1642 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1645 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1648 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1649 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1650 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1651 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1652 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1653 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1655 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1656 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1658 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1661 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1665 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1666 method when that method was provided by another role being
1667 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1668 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1670 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1672 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1673 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1675 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1676 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1677 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1678 - added test for this (t0m)
1680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1681 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1682 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1684 - added test for this (t0m)
1687 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1688 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1689 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1693 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1695 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1697 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1698 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1700 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1701 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1702 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1704 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1705 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1709 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1710 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1711 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1715 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1716 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1717 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1720 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1721 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1722 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1723 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1726 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1730 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1731 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1732 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1734 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1735 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1736 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1737 created so that the process can be more easily
1738 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1740 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1741 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1742 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1743 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1746 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1749 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1750 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1752 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1753 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1754 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1756 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1757 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1758 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1760 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1761 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1763 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1764 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1768 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1772 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1773 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1775 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1776 ... this is not my day today ...
1778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1779 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1780 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1781 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1782 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1785 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1786 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1787 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1788 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1789 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1792 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1794 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1795 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1796 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1797 this is not ever something you want to do
1798 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1799 - added tests for this (stevan)
1802 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1804 - added test for this
1806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1807 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1808 - added tests for this (wreis)
1810 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1811 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1812 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1813 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1815 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1816 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1817 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1820 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1822 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1824 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1827 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1828 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1829 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1830 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1831 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1832 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1833 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1834 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1835 - added tests for this
1837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1838 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1839 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1840 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1842 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1845 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1846 - added tests for this (sartak)
1847 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1848 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1851 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1853 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1854 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)

1857 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1858 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1859 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1861 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1863 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1864 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1867 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1868 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1869 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1871 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1872 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1873 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1875 - added docs for this (TODO).
1876 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1877 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1878 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1879 - fix builder and default both being used
1884 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1886 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1887 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1888 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1892 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1896 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1897 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1898 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1900 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1901 - move the ClassName type check code to
1902 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1904 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1905 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1907 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1908 (early morning release engineering)--
1910 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1911 which was causing the indexer to choke
1913 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1914 (late night release engineering)--
1916 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1917 changes in this release
1919 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1920 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1921 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1923 * Moose::Meta::Class
1924 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1925 since it is called so often by &meta
1927 * Moose::Meta::Class
1929 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1930 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1933 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1934 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1935 method for immutablization to check if the
1936 destructor object even needs to be created
1939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1940 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1941 - added more descriptive error message to help
1942 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1943 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1945 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1947 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1948 XS based functionality is now optional
1949 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1950 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1951 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1953 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1954 to take care of this, mostly we added
1955 support for the package_name and name
1956 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1957 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1958 support regexp matching of names
1959 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1960 - tests added for this
1961 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1962 is currently not supported in roles,
1963 but, ... patches welcome
1964 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1965 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1966 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1969 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1970 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1971 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1972 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1973 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1974 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1975 - added test for this
1977 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1978 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1979 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1982 * Moose::Meta::Class
1983 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1987 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1989 - added tests for this
1990 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1991 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1993 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1994 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1995 themselves parameterizable types
1997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1998 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1999 called by the inlined immutable
2001 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2003 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2004 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2005 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2006 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2008 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2009 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2013 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2014 causing occasional cpantester failures
2015 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2016 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2018 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2020 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2021 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2024 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2025 ->body when looping through the
2026 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2028 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2029 eating the $@ values, and so not
2030 working correctly, it still kind of
2031 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2032 - added tests for this
2034 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2035 - added new recipe for immutable
2036 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2038 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2039 - added new recipe for builder and
2040 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2042 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2043 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2044 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2047 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2049 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2050 since Module::Install has done that.
2052 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2054 drink more coffee before
2055 doing release engineering
2057 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2058 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2059 modules. This fixes that.
2061 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2062 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2063 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2172 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2174 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2465 - added tests for this
2468 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2469 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2508 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2511 - fixed how required methods are handled
2512 when they encounter overriden or modified
2513 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2514 - added tests for this
2516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2517 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2518 the | always creates a union and so is
2519 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2520 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2522 - added more tests for this
2524 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2527 * Parameterized Types
2528 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2529 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2530 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2531 They can also be nested:
2532 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2533 And work with the type unions as well:
2534 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2536 * Better Framework Extendability
2537 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2538 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2539 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2540 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2543 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2544 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2545 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2546 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2736 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
2737 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
2740 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2741 where not handled correctly in roles
2742 - added tests for this
2744 * Moose::Meta::Class
2745 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2746 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2747 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2749 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2750 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2752 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2753 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2754 so this release is just to fix that.
2757 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2758 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2759 (thanks to konobi for this)
2760 - added tests and docs
2762 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2763 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2766 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2767 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2768 - added tests for this
2769 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2770 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2771 functions to facilitate introspection.
2773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2774 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2775 to build the list of delegated methods
2776 correctly (and not override important
2777 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2779 - added tests and docs for this
2780 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2781 so that you can actually document your
2782 attributes and inspect them through the
2784 - added tests and docs for this
2786 * Moose::Meta::Class
2787 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2788 it will first look in for the class in the
2789 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2790 then default to just loading $name.
2791 - added tests and docs for this
2793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2794 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2795 - added test for this
2798 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2799 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2800 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2801 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2803 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2804 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2807 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2809 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2810 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2811 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2814 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2815 !! for this developer release to work !!
2817 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2818 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2819 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2820 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2821 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2822 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2823 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2824 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2825 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2826 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2827 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2829 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2830 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2831 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2832 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2835 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2837 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2838 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2839 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2841 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2843 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2844 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2847 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2848 called unless they actually need to be.
2849 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2850 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2851 DEMOLISH method present.
2853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2855 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2856 type constraint, which allows for a
2857 hand optimized version of the type
2858 constraint to be used when possible.
2859 - Any internally created type constraints
2860 now provide an optimized version as well.
2862 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2864 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2865 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2866 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2869 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2870 your class namespace of these exported
2873 * Moose::Meta::Class
2874 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2875 comes up during global destruction
2877 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2881 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2885 - changed how we do type checks so that
2886 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2889 - moved accessor generation methods to
2890 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2891 conform to the API changes from
2894 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2895 - changed how constraints are compiled
2896 so that we do less recursion and more
2897 iteration. This makes the type check
2899 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2903 - created this from methods formerly found in
2904 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2906 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2907 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2909 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2910 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2912 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2913 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2915 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2918 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2919 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2920 - added tests for this
2921 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2922 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2923 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2924 - removed tests for this
2926 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2928 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2929 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2930 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2933 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2934 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2935 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2937 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2938 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2939 comments for more info.
2942 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2943 asked questions and common problems
2945 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2946 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2947 - added tests for this
2949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2950 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2951 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2952 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2954 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2955 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2958 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2959 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2960 is much appreciated :)
2961 - added tests for this
2963 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2964 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2965 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2969 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2971 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2973 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2974 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2978 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2979 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2980 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2982 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2984 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2987 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2988 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2989 keywords because we need to localize them.
2990 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2992 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2993 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2994 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2997 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3001 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3002 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3005 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3006 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3007 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3009 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3011 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3012 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3013 bottom of your class file.
3016 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3019 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3021 - improved error message when loading modules so
3022 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3023 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3024 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3027 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3028 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3029 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3031 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3032 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3034 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3035 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3036 turn them on for you.
3037 - added tests for this

3066 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3067 - This release works in combination with
3068 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3069 release because it uses the a new
3070 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3071 complete Role implementation. It has
3072 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3073 the the previous CPAN version. This
3074 release also lacks good updated docs,
3075 the official release will have updated docs.
3078 - refactored the keyword exports
3079 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3080 accepts more than one Role at a time

3091 string enumerations which can be used as
3093 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3096 - more careful checking of params to new()
3099 - much work done on the role composition
3100 - many new tests for conflict detection
3101 and composition edge cases
3102 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3103 looking at the tests
3105 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3106 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3107 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3117 - some small changes to support the new
3119 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3120 with the 'handles' option

3128 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3129 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3130 on a per-attribute basis
3131 - added tests for this
3132 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3133 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
