2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
10 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
11 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
12 details. (Dave Rolsky)
14 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
15 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
16 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
17 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
18 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
22 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
23 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
24 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
25 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
26 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originall defined
29 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
33 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
34 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
36 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
39 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
43 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
44 immutable classes). (mo)
46 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
47 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
48 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
50 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
54 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
56 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
58 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
62 * Fix some indexing issues.
64 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
66 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
70 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
71 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
72 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
73 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
74 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
76 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
77 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
82 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
83 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
84 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
85 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
87 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
88 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
89 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
93 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
94 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
101 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
102 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
106 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
110 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
111 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
112 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
113 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
116 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
120 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
123 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
127 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
128 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
129 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
131 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
135 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
136 policy. (Chris Prather)
138 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
139 on this new support policy. (doy)
143 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
144 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
145 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
147 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
148 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
150 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
154 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
155 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
156 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
157 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
160 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
164 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
165 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
168 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
172 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
173 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
175 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
176 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
180 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
181 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
182 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
183 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
184 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
185 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
187 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
188 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
190 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
191 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
192 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
193 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
196 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
198 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
203 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
204 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
206 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
210 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
211 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
212 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
214 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
218 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
219 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
220 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
222 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
223 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
226 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
227 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
230 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
231 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
232 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
234 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
235 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
240 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
241 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
242 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
243 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
245 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
246 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
248 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
249 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
251 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
252 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
253 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
254 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
256 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
257 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
258 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
261 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
262 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
263 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
264 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
266 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
267 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
270 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
271 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
272 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
274 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
278 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
279 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
280 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
282 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
283 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
284 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
287 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
288 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
289 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
291 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
292 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
293 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
295 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
296 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
300 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
301 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
302 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
304 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
305 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
306 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
307 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
309 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
313 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
314 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
315 value is a reference.
317 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
318 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
320 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
324 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
325 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
326 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
328 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
332 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
333 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
337 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
338 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
339 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
341 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
342 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
343 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
345 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
349 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
351 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
355 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
357 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
358 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
363 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
364 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
366 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
367 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
368 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
369 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
370 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
372 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
373 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
374 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
375 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
377 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
381 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
382 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
387 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
389 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
391 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
396 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
398 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
402 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
403 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
404 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
406 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
407 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
408 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
409 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
411 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
412 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
413 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
414 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
415 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
418 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
423 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
424 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
425 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
426 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
427 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
430 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
434 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
437 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
438 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
442 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
443 function (not just method). (doy)
447 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
448 and aren't easily installable/testable.
450 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
454 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
455 to be overridden more easily (doy).
457 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
461 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
462 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
464 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
468 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
469 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
470 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
472 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
476 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
477 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
478 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
480 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
481 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
485 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
486 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
488 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
489 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
493 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
494 is applied to a class (t0m).
496 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
497 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
499 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
502 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
503 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
505 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
506 be much more robust. (doy)
508 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
510 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
513 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
517 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
518 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
520 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
524 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
525 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
527 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
530 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
531 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
532 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
534 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
535 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
536 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
539 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
541 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
545 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
546 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
550 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
552 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
557 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
561 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
562 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
566 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
568 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
572 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
573 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
577 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
578 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
582 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
583 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
585 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
589 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
590 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
591 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
594 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
598 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
599 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
600 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
601 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
603 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
607 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
608 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
609 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
613 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
616 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
621 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
622 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
626 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
627 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
629 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
630 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
631 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
632 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
634 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
638 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
642 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
643 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
645 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
646 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
647 - Moose::Util::does_role
648 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
649 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
650 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
652 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
656 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
657 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
658 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
661 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
665 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
666 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
669 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
673 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
674 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
677 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
681 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
683 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
684 class. (Dave Rolsky).
686 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
687 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
688 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
690 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
691 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
692 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
695 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
696 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
698 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
699 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
700 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
702 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
704 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
705 substr et al, again. (sorear)
707 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
709 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
712 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
713 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
715 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
716 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
718 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
719 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
720 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
721 dependencies installed.
723 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
724 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
727 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
729 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
733 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
736 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
737 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
740 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
741 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
743 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
744 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
747 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
748 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
749 others. (nothingmuch)
751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
752 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
753 remove_accessors. (doy)
755 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
756 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
757 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
759 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
760 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
762 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
764 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
765 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
768 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
769 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
772 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
774 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
776 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
777 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
780 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
781 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
782 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
783 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
784 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
786 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
787 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
789 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
790 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
791 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
792 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
795 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
796 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
797 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
798 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
799 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
801 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
802 which were not receiving the value of
803 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
804 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
805 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
806 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
810 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
811 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
812 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
813 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
814 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
818 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
819 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
820 - added tests for this (Stevan)
823 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
824 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
825 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
828 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
830 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
832 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
833 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
834 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
837 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
838 class if you pass it options for
839 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
840 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
841 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
842 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
843 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
844 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
845 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
846 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
847 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
849 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
850 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
851 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
852 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
853 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
856 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
858 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
859 existing delegation API. (hdp)
861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
862 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
863 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
864 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
865 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
866 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
869 * Moose::Error::Croak
870 * Moose::Error::Confess
871 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
872 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
875 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
878 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
879 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
880 installing a broken sub. (doy)
883 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
886 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
887 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
888 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
890 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
891 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
892 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
893 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
894 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
896 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
897 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
900 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
902 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
903 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
906 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
907 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
910 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
911 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
912 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
914 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
915 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
916 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
917 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
918 using it for new code!
920 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
921 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
922 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
923 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
925 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
926 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
927 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
928 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
929 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
930 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
931 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
932 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
935 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
938 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
939 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
943 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
945 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
946 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
947 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
951 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
952 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
955 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
956 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
958 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
959 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
960 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
963 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
965 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
966 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
967 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
968 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
970 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
972 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
975 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
976 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
977 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
979 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
980 associated_methods. (hdp)
981 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
982 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
983 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
984 misspelled) arguments
986 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
987 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
988 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
989 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
991 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
993 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
995 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
999 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1000 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1003 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1004 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1006 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1007 * Moose::Meta::Class
1008 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1009 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1011 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1012 * Moose::Manual::Types
1013 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1014 string parsing rathole (mst)
1016 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1017 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1018 using plain objects instead
1020 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1021 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1022 that's what we need.
1024 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1025 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1026 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1027 three times today (perigrin)
1028 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1029 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1032 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1033 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1034 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1037 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1038 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1039 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1040 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1041 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1042 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1045 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1046 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1047 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1048 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1051 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1053 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1056 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1058 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1061 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1062 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1063 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1067 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1068 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1071 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1072 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1074 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1075 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1076 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1078 * Moose::Unsweetened
1079 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1081 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1082 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1085 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1089 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1090 methods during global destruction (doy)
1092 * Moose::Meta::Class
1093 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1094 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1095 consumption (Sartak)
1097 * Moose::Meta::Class
1098 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1099 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1102 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1103 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1106 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1107 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1109 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1111 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1115 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1116 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1117 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1121 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1122 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1125 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1127 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1128 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1129 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1133 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1134 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1135 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1137 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1138 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1139 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1142 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1145 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1146 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1147 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1151 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1152 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1154 * Moose::Meta::Class
1155 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1157 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1159 * Moose::Meta::Class
1160 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1161 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1164 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1165 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1168 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1169 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1172 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1175 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1177 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1178 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1181 * Moose::Meta::Class
1182 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1184 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1185 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1188 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1189 * More deprecations and renamings
1190 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1191 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1192 when an object is constructed)
1195 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1196 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1197 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1200 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1201 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1202 feature, and it works again.
1205 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1207 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1209 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1210 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1211 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1214 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1215 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1216 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1217 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1220 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1221 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1222 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1223 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1226 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1227 metaclass object. (hdp)
1229 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1230 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1232 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1233 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1234 point out this fact. (hdp)
1236 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1237 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1239 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1240 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1242 * Moose::Meta::Class
1243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1244 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1245 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1246 called during instance construction were passed the
1247 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1248 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1250 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1251 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1255 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1256 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1259 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1260 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1261 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1262 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1263 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1265 - Moose::Meta::Class
1266 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1268 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1269 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1270 when an object is constructed)
1271 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1273 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1274 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1275 when an object is constructed)
1276 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1277 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1278 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1281 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1283 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1284 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1286 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1288 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1289 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1290 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1293 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1294 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1296 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1298 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1299 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1301 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1302 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1305 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1306 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1309 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1310 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1311 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1314 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1318 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1319 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1320 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1323 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1326 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1327 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1328 with recommended workarounds.
1330 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1331 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1334 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1335 (yes, spelled like that).
1337 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1338 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1340 * Moose::Meta::Class
1341 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1342 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1344 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1346 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1347 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1348 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1349 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1350 instead. Reported by doy.
1352 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1354 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1355 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1357 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1358 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1359 message) is now deprecated.
1360 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1361 often got it wrong. For example:
1363 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1365 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1369 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1370 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1371 bite you in weird cases.
1373 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1374 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1375 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1376 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1378 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1379 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1383 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1386 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1387 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1390 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1391 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1393 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1394 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1397 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1399 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1400 - added tests for this (stevan)
1402 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1403 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1404 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1405 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1409 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1410 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1411 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1412 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1414 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1415 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1416 - added tests for this (rafl)
1418 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1419 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1420 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1421 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1425 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1426 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1429 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1430 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1431 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1433 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1435 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1436 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1438 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1439 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1440 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1441 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1442 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1445 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1446 error message did not specify the attribute name
1449 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1451 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1453 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1454 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1455 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1458 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1461 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1463 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1464 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1465 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1466 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1468 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1470 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1471 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1472 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1473 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1476 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1477 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1479 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1480 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1481 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1482 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1483 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1486 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1487 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1488 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1489 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1492 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1493 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1494 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1495 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1496 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1498 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1499 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1500 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1501 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1502 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1503 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1505 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1506 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1508 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1509 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1510 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1511 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1514 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1517 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1521 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1522 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1524 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1525 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1526 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1527 guts. (nothingmuch).
1529 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1531 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1534 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1535 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1536 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1538 * Moose::Meta::Class
1539 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1542 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1543 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1545 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1546 * Moose::Unsweetened
1547 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1550 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1551 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1552 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1553 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1554 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1555 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1558 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1559 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1560 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1561 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1562 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1563 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1564 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1565 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1566 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1568 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1570 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1571 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1574 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1575 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1576 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1578 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1579 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1580 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1581 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1582 same methods for a single role did not work
1583 right (worked just fine with multiple
1585 - added test for this (stevan)
1587 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1588 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1589 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1592 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1593 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1594 - added test for this (t0m)
1597 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1598 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1599 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1602 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1603 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1604 - added test for this (t0m)
1606 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1607 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1608 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1609 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1610 - added test for this (perigrin)
1613 - create method for constructing a role
1614 dynamically (Sartak)
1615 - added test for this (Sartak)
1616 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1617 - added test for this (Sartak)
1620 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1622 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1623 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1624 methods is useful (Sartak)
1626 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1628 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1631 * Moose::Meta::Class
1632 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1633 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1634 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1635 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1636 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1637 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1640 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1641 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1643 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1644 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1645 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1646 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1647 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1651 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1652 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1653 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1656 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1657 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1658 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1659 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1660 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1661 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1664 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1665 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1666 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1667 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1668 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1669 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1670 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1671 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1672 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1673 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1674 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1676 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1677 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1680 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1681 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1682 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1683 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1684 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1686 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1688 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1689 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1690 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1692 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1693 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1695 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1696 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1697 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1698 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1701 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1702 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1704 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1706 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1707 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1709 * Moose::Meta::Class
1710 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1711 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1712 a required attribute
1714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1715 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1716 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1717 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1719 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1720 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1723 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1724 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1725 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1726 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1727 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1728 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1729 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1731 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1732 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1733 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1735 * Roles and role application
1736 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1737 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1738 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1739 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1740 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1742 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1743 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1746 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1747 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1748 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1749 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1750 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1753 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1754 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1755 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1756 changes in the Moose internals.
1758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1759 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1760 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1764 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1765 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1766 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1769 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1770 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1771 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1774 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1775 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1776 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1777 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1778 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1779 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1780 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1781 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1782 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1783 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1784 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1785 constraint implementations.
1787 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1791 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1792 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1793 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1794 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1795 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1796 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 - added tests for this (rafl)
1799 * Moose::Meta::Class
1800 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1801 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1802 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1803 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1804 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1805 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1806 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1807 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1810 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1811 - added tests for this (thepler)
1813 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1814 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1815 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1816 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1819 * Moose::Meta::Class
1820 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1821 * Moose::Meta::Method
1824 * Moose::Error::Default
1825 * Moose::Error::Croak
1826 * Moose::Error::Confess
1827 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1828 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1829 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1830 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1831 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1832 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1834 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1836 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1837 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1839 * Moose::Unsweetened
1840 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1841 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1842 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1845 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1846 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1847 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1848 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1851 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1852 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1854 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1855 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1856 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1857 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1860 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1862 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1863 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1865 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1868 - Various bug fixes.
1870 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1871 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1873 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1875 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1876 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1877 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1878 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1879 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1880 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1883 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1884 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1886 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1887 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1888 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1891 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1892 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1893 dependency to 0.64_07.
1895 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1896 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1897 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1899 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1900 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1904 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1905 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1906 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1907 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1908 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1910 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1911 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1913 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1915 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1916 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1920 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1921 method when that method was provided by another role being
1922 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1925 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1927 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1928 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1930 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1931 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1932 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1933 - added test for this (t0m)
1935 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1936 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1937 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1939 - added test for this (t0m)
1942 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1943 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1944 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1947 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1948 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1950 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1952 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1953 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1955 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1956 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1957 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1959 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1960 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1963 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1964 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1965 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1966 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1970 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1971 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1972 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1975 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1976 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1977 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1978 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1981 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1985 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1986 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1987 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1989 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1991 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1992 created so that the process can be more easily
1993 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1995 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1996 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1997 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1998 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2001 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2004 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2005 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2007 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2008 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2009 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2011 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2012 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2013 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2015 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2016 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2018 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2019 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2022 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2023 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2027 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2028 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2030 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2031 ... this is not my day today ...
2033 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2034 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2035 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2036 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2037 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2040 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2041 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2042 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2043 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2044 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2047 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2049 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2050 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2051 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2052 this is not ever something you want to do
2053 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

2082 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2083 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2084 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2085 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2086 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2087 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2088 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2089 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2090 - added tests for this
2092 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2093 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2203 XS based functionality is now optional
2204 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2205 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2206 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2309 drink more coffee before
2310 doing release engineering
2312 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2763 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2766 - fixed how required methods are handled
2767 when they encounter overriden or modified
2768 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2769 - added tests for this
2771 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2772 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2773 the | always creates a union and so is
2774 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2775 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2777 - added more tests for this
2779 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2782 * Parameterized Types
2783 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2784 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2785 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2786 They can also be nested:
2787 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2788 And work with the type unions as well:
2789 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2791 * Better Framework Extendability
2792 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2793 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2794 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2795 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2798 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2799 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2800 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2801 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2804 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2806 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2807 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2866 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2867 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2869 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2886 (thanks to shlomif).
2888 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2889 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2890 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2891 - added tests for this

2928 - added tests for these
2930 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2931 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2934 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2939 (but not changing the handles option)
2940 - added tests and docs for this
2943 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2944 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2955 the other side (perigrin)
2957 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2958 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2959 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2960 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2961 prototypes for functions
2962 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2963 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2973 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2976 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2977 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2978 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2979 - added tests for this
2981 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2983 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3004 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3005 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3007 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3008 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3009 so this release is just to fix that.
3012 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3013 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3014 (thanks to konobi for this)
3015 - added tests and docs
3017 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3018 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3020 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3021 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3022 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3023 - added tests for this

3025 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3026 functions to facilitate introspection.
3028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3029 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3030 to build the list of delegated methods
3031 correctly (and not override important
3032 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3034 - added tests and docs for this
3035 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3036 so that you can actually document your
3037 attributes and inspect them through the
3039 - added tests and docs for this
3041 * Moose::Meta::Class
3042 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3043 it will first look in for the class in the
3044 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3045 then default to just loading $name.
3046 - added tests and docs for this
3048 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3049 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3050 - added test for this
3053 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3054 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3055 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3056 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3058 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3059 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3062 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3064 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3065 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3066 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3069 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3070 !! for this developer release to work !!
3072 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3073 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3074 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3075 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3076 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3077 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3078 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3079 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3080 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3081 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3082 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3084 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3085 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3086 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3087 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3090 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3091 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3092 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3093 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3094 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3096 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3098 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3099 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3102 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3103 called unless they actually need to be.
3104 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3105 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3106 DEMOLISH method present.
3108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3109 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3110 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3111 type constraint, which allows for a
3112 hand optimized version of the type
3113 constraint to be used when possible.
3114 - Any internally created type constraints
3115 now provide an optimized version as well.
3117 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3119 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3120 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3121 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3123 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3124 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3125 your class namespace of these exported
3128 * Moose::Meta::Class
3129 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3130 comes up during global destruction
3132 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3136 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3140 - changed how we do type checks so that
3141 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3144 - moved accessor generation methods to
3145 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3146 conform to the API changes from
3149 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3150 - changed how constraints are compiled
3151 so that we do less recursion and more
3152 iteration. This makes the type check
3154 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3158 - created this from methods formerly found in
3159 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3161 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3162 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3165 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3168 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3170 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3173 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3174 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3175 - added tests for this
3176 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3177 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3178 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3179 - removed tests for this
3181 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3183 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3184 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3185 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3188 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3189 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3190 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3192 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3193 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3194 comments for more info.
3197 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3198 asked questions and common problems
3200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3201 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3202 - added tests for this
3204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3205 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3206 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3207 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3209 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3210 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3213 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3214 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3215 is much appreciated :)
3216 - added tests for this
3218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3219 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3220 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3224 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3226 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3228 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3229 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3233 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3234 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3235 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3237 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3239 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3242 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3243 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3244 keywords because we need to localize them.
3245 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3247 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3248 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3249 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3252 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3256 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3257 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3260 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3261 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3262 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3264 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3266 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3267 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3268 bottom of your class file.
3271 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3274 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3276 - improved error message when loading modules so
3277 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3278 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3279 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3282 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3283 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3284 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3286 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3287 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3289 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3290 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3291 turn them on for you.
3292 - added tests for this
3293 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3294 in Moose::Meta::Class
3297 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3298 automatically turned on for you.
3299 - added tests for this
3302 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3303 - added tests for this
3304 - added some more edge case tests

3317 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3320 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3321 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3322 - This release works in combination with
3323 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3324 release because it uses the a new
3325 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3326 complete Role implementation. It has
3327 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3328 the the previous CPAN version. This
3329 release also lacks good updated docs,
3330 the official release will have updated docs.
3333 - refactored the keyword exports
3334 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3335 accepts more than one Role at a time
3336 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3337 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3340 - refactored the keyword exports
3341 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3342 accepts more than one Role at a time
3344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3345 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3346 string enumerations which can be used as
3348 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3351 - more careful checking of params to new()
3354 - much work done on the role composition
3355 - many new tests for conflict detection
3356 and composition edge cases
3357 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3358 looking at the tests
3360 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3361 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3362 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3364 * Moose::Meta::Class
3365 - some small changes to support the new
3367 - some small additions to support Roles
3369 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3370 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3372 - some small changes to support the new
3374 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3375 with the 'handles' option
3376 - added several tests for this
3377 - no docs for this yet
3379 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3381 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3382 thanks to chansen for this commit
3383 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3384 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3385 on a per-attribute basis
3386 - added tests for this
3387 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3388 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3389 experimental feature and probably not finished
3390 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3391 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3392 - added tests for this
3395 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3402 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3403 thanks to chansen for this commit

3406 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3407 construct_instance (for the better)
3409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3410 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3411 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
