1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
10 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
14 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
15 skips every other role. (rjbs)
17 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
18 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
19 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
20 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
21 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
23 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
27 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
28 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
29 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
32 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
37 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
39 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
40 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
42 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
46 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
47 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
48 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
52 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
53 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
55 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
56 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
58 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
59 environments. (doy, mateu)
61 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
65 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
66 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
67 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
68 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
72 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
73 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
75 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
79 * Update conflicts list.
82 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
86 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
87 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
88 details. (Dave Rolsky)
90 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
91 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
92 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
93 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
94 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
98 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
99 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
100 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
101 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
102 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
105 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
109 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
110 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
112 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
115 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
119 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
120 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
121 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
122 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
124 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
125 immutable classes). (mo)
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 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
135 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
137 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
139 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
143 * Fix some indexing issues.
145 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
147 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
151 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
152 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
153 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
154 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
155 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
157 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
158 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
163 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
164 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
165 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
166 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
168 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
169 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
170 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
174 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
175 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
178 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
182 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
183 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
187 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
191 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
192 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
193 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
194 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
197 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
201 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
204 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
208 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
209 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
210 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
213 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
217 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
218 policy. (Chris Prather)
220 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
221 on this new support policy. (doy)
225 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
226 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
227 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
229 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
230 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
232 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
236 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
237 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
238 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
239 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
242 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
246 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
247 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
250 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
254 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
255 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
257 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
258 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
262 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
263 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
264 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
265 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
266 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
267 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
269 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
270 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
272 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
273 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
274 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
275 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
277 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
278 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
280 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
285 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
286 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
288 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
292 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
293 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
294 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
296 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
300 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
301 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
302 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
304 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
305 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
308 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
309 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
312 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
313 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
314 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
316 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
317 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
322 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
323 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
324 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
325 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
327 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
328 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
330 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
331 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
333 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
334 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
335 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
336 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
338 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
339 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
340 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
343 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
344 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
345 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
346 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
348 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
349 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
352 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
353 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
354 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
356 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
360 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
361 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
362 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
364 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
365 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
366 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
369 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
370 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
371 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
373 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
374 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
375 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
377 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
378 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
382 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
383 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
384 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
386 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
387 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
388 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
389 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
391 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
395 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
396 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
397 value is a reference.
399 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
400 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
402 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
406 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
407 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
408 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
410 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
414 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
415 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
419 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
420 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
421 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
423 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
424 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
425 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
427 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
431 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
433 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
437 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
439 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
440 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
445 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
446 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
448 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
449 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
450 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
451 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
452 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
454 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
455 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
456 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
457 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
459 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
463 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
464 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
469 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
471 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
473 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
478 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
480 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
484 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
485 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
486 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
488 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
489 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
490 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
491 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
493 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
494 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
495 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
496 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
497 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
500 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
505 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
506 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
507 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
508 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
509 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
512 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
516 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
519 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
520 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
524 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
525 function (not just method). (doy)
529 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
530 and aren't easily installable/testable.
532 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
536 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
537 to be overridden more easily (doy).
539 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
543 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
544 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
546 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
550 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
551 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
552 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
554 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
558 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
559 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
560 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
562 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
563 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
567 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
568 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
570 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
571 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
575 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
576 is applied to a class (t0m).
578 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
579 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
581 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
584 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
585 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
587 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
588 be much more robust. (doy)
590 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
592 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
595 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
599 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
600 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
602 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
606 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
607 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
609 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
612 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
613 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
614 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
616 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
617 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
618 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
621 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
623 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
627 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
628 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
632 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
634 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
638 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
639 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
643 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
644 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
648 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
650 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
654 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
655 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
659 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
660 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
664 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
665 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
667 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
671 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
672 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
673 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
676 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
680 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
681 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
682 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
683 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
685 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
689 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
690 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
691 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
695 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
698 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
702 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
703 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
704 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
708 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
709 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
711 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
712 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
713 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
714 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
716 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
720 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
724 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
725 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
727 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
728 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
729 - Moose::Util::does_role
730 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
731 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
732 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
734 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
738 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
739 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
740 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
743 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
747 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
748 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
751 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
755 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
756 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
759 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
763 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
765 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
766 class. (Dave Rolsky).
768 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
769 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
770 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
772 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
773 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
774 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
777 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
778 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
780 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
781 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
782 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
784 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
786 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
787 substr et al, again. (sorear)
789 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
791 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
794 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
795 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
797 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
798 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
800 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
801 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
802 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
803 dependencies installed.
805 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
806 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
809 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
811 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
815 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
818 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
819 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
822 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
823 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
825 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
826 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
829 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
830 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
831 others. (nothingmuch)
833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
834 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
835 remove_accessors. (doy)
837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
838 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
839 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
841 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
842 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
844 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
846 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
847 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
850 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
851 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
854 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
856 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
858 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
859 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
862 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
863 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
864 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
865 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
866 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
868 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
869 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
871 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
872 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
873 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
874 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
877 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
878 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
879 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
880 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
881 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
883 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
884 which were not receiving the value of
885 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
886 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
887 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
888 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
892 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
893 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
894 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
895 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
896 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
899 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
900 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
901 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
902 - added tests for this (Stevan)
905 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
906 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
907 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
910 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
912 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
915 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
916 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
919 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
920 class if you pass it options for
921 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
922 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
923 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
924 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
925 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
926 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
927 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
928 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
929 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
931 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
932 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
933 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
934 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
935 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
938 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
939 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
940 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
941 existing delegation API. (hdp)
943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
944 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
945 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
946 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
947 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
948 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
951 * Moose::Error::Croak
952 * Moose::Error::Confess
953 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
954 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
957 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
960 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
961 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
962 installing a broken sub. (doy)
965 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
968 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
969 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
970 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
972 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
973 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
974 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
975 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
976 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
979 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
982 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
984 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
985 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
988 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
989 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
992 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
993 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
994 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
996 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
997 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
998 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
999 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1000 using it for new code!
1002 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1003 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1004 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1005 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1007 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1008 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1009 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1010 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1011 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1012 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1013 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1014 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1017 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1020 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1021 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1025 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1027 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1028 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1029 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1031 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1033 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1034 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1036 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1037 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1038 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1040 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1041 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1042 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1045 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1046 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1047 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1048 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1049 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1050 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1052 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1054 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1058 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1059 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1061 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1062 associated_methods. (hdp)
1063 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1064 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1065 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1066 misspelled) arguments
1068 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1069 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1070 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1071 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1074 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1075 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1077 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1080 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1081 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1082 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1085 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1086 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1088 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1089 * Moose::Meta::Class
1090 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1091 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1093 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1094 * Moose::Manual::Types
1095 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1096 string parsing rathole (mst)
1098 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1099 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1100 using plain objects instead
1102 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1103 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1104 that's what we need.
1106 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1107 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1108 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1109 three times today (perigrin)
1110 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1111 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1113 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1114 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1115 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1116 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1119 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1120 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1121 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1122 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1123 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1124 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1127 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1128 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1129 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1130 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1133 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1135 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1138 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1140 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1143 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1144 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1145 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1149 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1150 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1153 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1154 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1156 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1157 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1158 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1160 * Moose::Unsweetened
1161 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1163 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1164 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1167 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1171 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1172 methods during global destruction (doy)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Class
1175 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1176 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1177 consumption (Sartak)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Class
1180 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1181 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1184 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1185 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1188 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1189 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1191 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1193 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1197 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1198 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1199 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1202 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1203 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1204 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1207 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1209 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1211 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1214 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1215 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1216 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1217 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1219 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1220 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1221 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1224 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1227 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1228 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1229 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1233 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1234 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Class
1237 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1239 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1241 * Moose::Meta::Class
1242 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1243 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1246 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1247 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1250 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1251 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1254 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1257 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1260 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1263 * Moose::Meta::Class
1264 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1266 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1267 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1270 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1271 * More deprecations and renamings
1272 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1273 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1274 when an object is constructed)
1277 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1278 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1279 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1282 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1283 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1284 feature, and it works again.
1287 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1289 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1291 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1292 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1293 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1295 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1296 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1297 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1298 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1299 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1301 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1302 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1303 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1304 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1305 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1308 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1309 metaclass object. (hdp)
1311 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1312 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1313 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1314 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1315 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1316 point out this fact. (hdp)
1318 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1319 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1321 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1322 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1324 * Moose::Meta::Class
1325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1326 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1327 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1328 called during instance construction were passed the
1329 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1330 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1332 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1333 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1337 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1338 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1341 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1342 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1343 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1344 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1345 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1347 - Moose::Meta::Class
1348 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1350 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1351 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1352 when an object is constructed)
1353 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1355 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1356 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1357 when an object is constructed)
1358 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1359 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1360 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1363 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1365 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1366 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1368 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1370 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1371 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1372 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1374 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1375 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1376 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1378 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1380 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1381 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1383 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1384 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1387 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1388 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1391 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1392 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1393 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1395 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1396 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1400 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1401 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1402 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1404 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1405 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1408 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1409 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1410 with recommended workarounds.
1412 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1413 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1416 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1417 (yes, spelled like that).
1419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1420 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1422 * Moose::Meta::Class
1423 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1424 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1426 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1429 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1430 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1431 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1432 instead. Reported by doy.
1434 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1436 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1437 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1440 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1441 message) is now deprecated.
1442 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1443 often got it wrong. For example:
1445 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1447 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1451 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1452 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1453 bite you in weird cases.
1455 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1456 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1457 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1458 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1460 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1461 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1465 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1468 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1469 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1472 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1473 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1476 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1479 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1481 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1482 - added tests for this (stevan)
1484 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1485 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1486 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1487 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1491 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1492 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1493 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1494 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1496 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1497 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1498 - added tests for this (rafl)
1500 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1501 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1502 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1503 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1507 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1508 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1511 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1512 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1513 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1517 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1518 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1520 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1521 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1522 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1523 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1524 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1526 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1527 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1528 error message did not specify the attribute name
1531 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1533 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1535 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1536 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1537 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1540 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1543 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1545 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1546 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1547 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1548 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1550 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1552 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1553 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1554 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1555 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1558 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1559 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1561 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1562 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1563 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1564 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1565 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1568 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1569 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1570 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1571 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1574 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1575 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1576 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1577 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1578 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1580 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1581 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1582 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1583 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1584 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1585 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1587 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1588 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1590 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1591 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1592 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1593 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1596 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1599 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1603 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1604 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1606 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1607 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1608 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1609 guts. (nothingmuch).
1611 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1612 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1613 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1616 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1617 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1618 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1620 * Moose::Meta::Class
1621 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1624 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1625 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1627 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1628 * Moose::Unsweetened
1629 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1632 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1633 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1634 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1635 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1636 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1637 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1640 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1641 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1642 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1643 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1644 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1645 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1646 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1647 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1648 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1650 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1652 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1653 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1656 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1657 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1658 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1660 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1661 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1662 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1663 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1664 same methods for a single role did not work
1665 right (worked just fine with multiple
1667 - added test for this (stevan)
1669 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1670 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1671 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1674 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1675 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1676 - added test for this (t0m)
1679 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1680 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1681 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1684 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1685 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1686 - added test for this (t0m)
1688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1689 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1690 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1691 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1692 - added test for this (perigrin)
1695 - create method for constructing a role
1696 dynamically (Sartak)
1697 - added test for this (Sartak)
1698 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1699 - added test for this (Sartak)
1702 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1704 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1705 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1706 methods is useful (Sartak)
1708 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1710 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1713 * Moose::Meta::Class
1714 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1715 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1716 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1717 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1718 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1719 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1722 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1723 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1725 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1726 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1727 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1728 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1729 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1731 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1733 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1734 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1735 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1738 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1739 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1740 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1741 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1742 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1743 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1746 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1747 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1748 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1749 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1750 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1751 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1752 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1753 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1754 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1755 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1756 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1758 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1759 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1762 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1763 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1764 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1765 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1766 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1768 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1770 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1771 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1772 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1775 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1777 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1778 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1779 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1780 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1783 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1784 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1786 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1788 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1789 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1791 * Moose::Meta::Class
1792 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1793 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1794 a required attribute
1796 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1797 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1798 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1799 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1801 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1802 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1805 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1806 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1807 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1808 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1809 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1810 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1811 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1813 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1814 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1815 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1817 * Roles and role application
1818 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1819 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1820 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1821 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1822 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1824 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1825 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1829 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1830 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1831 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1832 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1835 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1836 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1837 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1838 changes in the Moose internals.
1840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1841 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1842 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1846 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1847 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1848 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1850 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1851 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1852 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1853 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1855 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1856 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1857 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1858 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1859 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1860 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1861 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1862 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1863 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1864 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1865 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1866 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1867 constraint implementations.
1869 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1873 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1874 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1875 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1876 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1877 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1878 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 - added tests for this (rafl)
1881 * Moose::Meta::Class
1882 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1883 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1884 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1885 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1886 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1887 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1888 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1892 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1893 - added tests for this (thepler)
1895 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1896 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1897 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1898 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1901 * Moose::Meta::Class
1902 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1903 * Moose::Meta::Method
1906 * Moose::Error::Default
1907 * Moose::Error::Croak
1908 * Moose::Error::Confess
1909 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1910 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1911 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1912 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1913 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1914 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1916 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1918 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1919 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Unsweetened
1922 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1923 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1924 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1927 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1928 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1929 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1930 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1933 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1934 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1936 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1937 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1938 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1939 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1942 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1944 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1945 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1947 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1950 - Various bug fixes.
1952 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1953 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1955 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1957 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1958 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1959 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1960 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1961 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1962 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1964 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1965 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1966 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1969 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1970 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1973 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1974 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1975 dependency to 0.64_07.
1977 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1978 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1979 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1981 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1982 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1985 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1986 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1987 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1988 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1989 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1990 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1993 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1995 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1997 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1998 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2002 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2003 method when that method was provided by another role being
2004 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2005 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2007 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2009 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2010 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2012 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2013 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2014 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2015 - added test for this (t0m)
2017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2018 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2019 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2021 - added test for this (t0m)
2024 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2025 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2026 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2029 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2030 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2032 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2034 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2035 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2037 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2038 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2039 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2041 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2042 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2045 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2046 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2047 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2048 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2052 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2053 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2054 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2058 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2059 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2060 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2063 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2067 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2068 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2069 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2071 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008

2112 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2113 ... this is not my day today ...
2115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2116 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2117 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2118 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2119 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2122 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2123 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2124 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2125 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2126 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2129 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2131 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2132 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2133 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2134 this is not ever something you want to do
2135 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2136 - added tests for this (stevan)

2164 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2165 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2166 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2167 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2168 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2169 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2170 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2171 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2172 - added tests for this
2174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2175 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2176 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2177 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2282 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2284 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2285 XS based functionality is now optional
2286 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2287 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2288 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2746 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2748 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2750 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2751 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2752 - added tests for this
2753 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2754 a single type at different times instead of
2755 having to do it all in one place
2756 - added tests for this
2758 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2759 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2760 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2763 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2764 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2765 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2766 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2767 new features above (although you cannot add
2768 more type coercions for Union types)
2770 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2772 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2773 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2774 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2775 - added tests for this.
2776 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2777 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2778 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2779 - added tests for this
2780 - added docs for this
2782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2783 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2784 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2785 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2786 instead it will just return undef.
2787 - added docs for this
2789 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2801 with work correctly.
2802 - added tests for this
2805 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2806 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2809 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2810 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2811 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2813 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2845 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2848 - fixed how required methods are handled
2849 when they encounter overriden or modified
2850 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2851 - added tests for this
2853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2854 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2855 the | always creates a union and so is
2856 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2857 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2859 - added more tests for this
2861 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2864 * Parameterized Types
2865 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2866 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2867 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2868 They can also be nested:
2869 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2870 And work with the type unions as well:
2871 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2873 * Better Framework Extendability
2874 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2875 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2876 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2877 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2880 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2881 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2882 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2883 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2886 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2888 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2889 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2892 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2923 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2924 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2925 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2927 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2928 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2929 - updated the accompanying test as well
2931 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2932 +++ with new features added as well +++
2934 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2938 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2940 - added tests for this
2942 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2948 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2949 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2951 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2952 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2953 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2954 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2968 (thanks to shlomif).
2970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2971 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2972 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2973 - added tests for this

2976 - added tests for this
2978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2979 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3010 - added tests for these
3012 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3013 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3015 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3016 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3017 to the 'handles' option.
3018 - added tests and docs for this

3021 (but not changing the handles option)
3022 - added tests and docs for this
3025 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3026 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3027 - adjusted tests for this
3029 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3030 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3031 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3037 the other side (perigrin)
3039 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3041 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3042 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3043 prototypes for functions
3044 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3045 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3055 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3058 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3059 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3060 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3061 - added tests for this
3063 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3065 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3083 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3084 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3086 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3087 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3089 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3090 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3091 so this release is just to fix that.
3094 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3095 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3096 (thanks to konobi for this)
3097 - added tests and docs
3099 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3100 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3103 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3104 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3105 - added tests for this

3107 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3108 functions to facilitate introspection.
3110 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3111 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3112 to build the list of delegated methods
3113 correctly (and not override important
3114 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3116 - added tests and docs for this
3117 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3118 so that you can actually document your
3119 attributes and inspect them through the
3121 - added tests and docs for this
3123 * Moose::Meta::Class
3124 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3125 it will first look in for the class in the
3126 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3127 then default to just loading $name.
3128 - added tests and docs for this
3130 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3131 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3132 - added test for this
3135 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3136 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3137 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3138 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3140 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3141 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3144 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3146 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3147 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3148 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3151 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3152 !! for this developer release to work !!
3154 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3155 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3156 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3157 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3158 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3159 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3160 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3161 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3162 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3163 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3164 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3166 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3167 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3168 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3169 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3172 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3173 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3174 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3175 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3176 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3178 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3180 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3181 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3184 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3185 called unless they actually need to be.
3186 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3187 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3188 DEMOLISH method present.
3190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3191 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3192 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3193 type constraint, which allows for a
3194 hand optimized version of the type
3195 constraint to be used when possible.
3196 - Any internally created type constraints
3197 now provide an optimized version as well.
3199 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3201 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3202 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3203 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3205 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3206 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3207 your class namespace of these exported
3210 * Moose::Meta::Class
3211 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3212 comes up during global destruction
3214 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3218 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3221 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3222 - changed how we do type checks so that
3223 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3226 - moved accessor generation methods to
3227 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3228 conform to the API changes from
3231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3232 - changed how constraints are compiled
3233 so that we do less recursion and more
3234 iteration. This makes the type check
3236 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3239 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3240 - created this from methods formerly found in
3241 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3243 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3244 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3247 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3249 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3250 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3252 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3255 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3256 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3257 - added tests for this
3258 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3259 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3260 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3261 - removed tests for this
3263 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3265 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3266 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3267 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3270 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3271 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3272 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3274 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3275 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3276 comments for more info.
3279 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3280 asked questions and common problems
3282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3283 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3284 - added tests for this
3286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3287 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3288 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3289 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3291 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3292 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3295 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3296 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3297 is much appreciated :)
3298 - added tests for this
3300 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3301 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3302 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3305 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3306 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3308 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3310 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3311 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3315 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3316 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3317 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3319 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3321 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3324 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3325 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3326 keywords because we need to localize them.
3327 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3329 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3330 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3331 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3334 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3337 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3338 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3339 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3342 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3343 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3344 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3346 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3348 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3349 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3350 bottom of your class file.
3353 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3356 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3358 - improved error message when loading modules so
3359 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3360 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3361 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3364 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3365 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3366 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3368 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3369 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3371 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3372 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3373 turn them on for you.
3374 - added tests for this
3375 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3376 in Moose::Meta::Class
3379 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3380 automatically turned on for you.
3381 - added tests for this
3384 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3385 - added tests for this
3386 - added some more edge case tests

3398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3399 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3402 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3403 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3404 - This release works in combination with
3405 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3406 release because it uses the a new
3407 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3408 complete Role implementation. It has
3409 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3410 the the previous CPAN version. This
3411 release also lacks good updated docs,
3412 the official release will have updated docs.
3415 - refactored the keyword exports
3416 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3417 accepts more than one Role at a time
3418 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3419 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3422 - refactored the keyword exports
3423 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3424 accepts more than one Role at a time
3426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3427 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3428 string enumerations which can be used as
3430 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3433 - more careful checking of params to new()
3436 - much work done on the role composition
3437 - many new tests for conflict detection
3438 and composition edge cases
3439 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3440 looking at the tests
3442 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3443 - added new Instance metaclass to support

3463 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3464 thanks to chansen for this commit
3465 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option

3470 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3471 experimental feature and probably not finished
