1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
7 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
13 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
14 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
15 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
17 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
21 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
22 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
23 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
25 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
26 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
30 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
31 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
33 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
34 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
38 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
39 is applied to a class (t0m).
41 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
42 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
44 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
47 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
48 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
50 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
51 be much more robust. (doy)
53 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
55 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
58 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
62 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
63 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
65 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
69 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
70 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
72 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
75 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
76 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
77 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
79 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
80 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
81 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
84 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
86 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
90 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
91 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
95 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
97 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
102 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
106 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
107 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
111 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
113 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
117 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
118 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
122 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
123 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
127 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
128 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
130 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
134 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
135 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
136 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
139 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
143 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
144 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
145 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
146 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
148 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
152 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
153 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
154 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
158 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
161 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
166 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
167 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
171 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
172 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
174 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
175 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
176 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
177 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
179 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
183 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
187 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
188 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
190 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
191 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
192 - Moose::Util::does_role
193 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
194 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
195 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
197 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
201 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
202 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
203 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
206 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
210 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
211 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
214 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
218 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
219 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
222 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
226 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
228 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
229 class. (Dave Rolsky).
231 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
232 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
233 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
235 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
236 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
237 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
240 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
241 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
243 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
244 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
245 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
247 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
249 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
250 substr et al, again. (sorear)
252 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
254 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
257 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
258 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
260 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
261 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
263 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
264 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
265 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
266 dependencies installed.
268 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
269 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
272 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
274 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
278 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
281 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
282 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
285 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
286 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
288 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
289 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
292 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
293 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
294 others. (nothingmuch)
296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
297 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
298 remove_accessors. (doy)
300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
301 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
302 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
305 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
307 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
309 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
310 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
313 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
314 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
317 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
319 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
321 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
322 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
326 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
327 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
328 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
329 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
331 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
332 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
334 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
335 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
336 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
337 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
340 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
341 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
342 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
343 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
344 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
346 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
347 which were not receiving the value of
348 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
349 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
350 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
351 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
355 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
356 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
357 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
358 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
359 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
363 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
364 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
365 - added tests for this (Stevan)
368 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
369 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
370 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
373 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
375 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
378 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
379 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
382 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
383 class if you pass it options for
384 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
385 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
386 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
387 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
388 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
389 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
390 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
391 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
392 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
394 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
395 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
396 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
397 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
398 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
401 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
403 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
404 existing delegation API. (hdp)
406 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
407 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
408 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
409 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
410 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
411 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
414 * Moose::Error::Croak
415 * Moose::Error::Confess
416 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
417 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
420 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
423 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
424 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
425 installing a broken sub. (doy)
428 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
431 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
432 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
433 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
435 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
436 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
437 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
438 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
439 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
441 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
442 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
445 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
447 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
448 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
451 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
452 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
454 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
456 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
457 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
460 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
461 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
462 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
463 using it for new code!
465 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
466 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
467 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
468 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
470 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
471 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
472 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
473 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
474 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
475 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
476 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
477 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
480 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
483 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
484 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
487 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
488 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
491 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
492 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
495 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
496 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
497 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
500 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
501 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
504 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
505 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
508 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
510 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
511 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
512 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
513 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
515 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
517 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
520 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
521 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
522 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
524 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
525 associated_methods. (hdp)
526 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
527 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
528 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
529 misspelled) arguments
531 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
532 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
533 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
534 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
538 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
540 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
543 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
544 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
545 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
548 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
549 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
551 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
553 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
554 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
556 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
557 * Moose::Manual::Types
558 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
559 string parsing rathole (mst)
561 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
562 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
563 using plain objects instead
565 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
566 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
569 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
571 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
572 three times today (perigrin)
573 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
574 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
577 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
578 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
579 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
582 - A role's required methods are now represented by
583 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
584 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
585 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
586 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
587 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
590 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
591 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
592 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
593 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
596 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
598 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
601 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
603 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
606 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
607 during global destruction. This method has been made more
608 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
612 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
613 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
616 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
617 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
619 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
620 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
621 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
624 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
626 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
627 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
630 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
634 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
635 methods during global destruction (doy)
638 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
639 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
643 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
644 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
647 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
648 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
651 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
652 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
654 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
656 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
660 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
661 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
662 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
665 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
666 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
667 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
670 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
672 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
673 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
674 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
677 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
678 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
679 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
680 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
682 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
683 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
684 of the Moose core (Sartak)
687 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
690 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
691 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
692 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
696 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
697 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
700 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
702 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
705 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
706 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
709 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
710 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
713 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
714 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
717 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
720 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
722 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
723 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
727 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
729 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
730 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
733 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
734 * More deprecations and renamings
735 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
736 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
737 when an object is constructed)
740 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
741 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
742 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
744 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
745 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
746 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
747 feature, and it works again.
750 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
752 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
754 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
755 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
756 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
759 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
760 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
761 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
762 message. Test provided by perigrin.
764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
765 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
766 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
767 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
768 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
771 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
772 metaclass object. (hdp)
774 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
775 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
776 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
777 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
778 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
779 point out this fact. (hdp)
781 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
782 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
784 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
785 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
789 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
790 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
791 called during instance construction were passed the
792 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
793 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
795 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
796 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
799 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
800 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
801 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
804 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
805 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
806 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
807 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
808 them, but they are not for "public" use.
811 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
813 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
814 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
815 when an object is constructed)
816 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
818 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
819 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
820 when an object is constructed)
821 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
822 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
823 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
826 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
828 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
829 * No changes from 0.72_01.
831 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
833 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
834 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
835 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
838 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
839 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
841 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
843 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
844 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
846 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
847 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
850 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
851 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
854 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
855 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
856 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
858 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
859 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
863 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
864 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
865 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
867 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
868 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
871 * Moose::Manual::Delta
872 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
873 with recommended workarounds.
875 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
876 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
878 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
879 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
880 (yes, spelled like that).
882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
883 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
886 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
887 changes in latest Class::MOP.
889 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
891 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
892 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
893 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
894 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
895 instead. Reported by doy.
897 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
899 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
900 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
902 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
903 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
904 message) is now deprecated.
905 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
906 often got it wrong. For example:
908 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
910 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
914 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
915 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
916 bite you in weird cases.
918 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
919 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
920 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
923 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
924 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
928 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
931 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
932 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
935 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
936 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
938 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
939 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
942 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
943 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
944 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
945 - added tests for this (stevan)
947 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
948 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
949 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
950 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
954 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
955 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
956 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
957 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
959 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
960 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
961 - added tests for this (rafl)
963 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
964 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
965 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
966 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
970 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
971 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
974 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
975 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
976 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
978 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
980 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
981 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
984 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
985 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
986 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
987 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
989 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
990 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
991 error message did not specify the attribute name
994 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
996 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
998 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
999 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1000 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1002 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1003 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1006 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1008 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1009 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1010 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1011 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1013 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1015 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1016 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1017 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1018 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1021 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1022 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1024 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1025 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1026 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1027 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1028 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1030 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1031 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1032 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1033 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1034 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1037 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1038 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1039 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1040 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1041 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1043 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1044 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1045 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1046 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1047 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1048 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1051 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1053 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1054 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1055 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1056 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1059 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1062 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1066 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1067 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1069 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1070 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1071 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1072 guts. (nothingmuch).
1074 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1076 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1078 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1079 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1080 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1081 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1083 * Moose::Meta::Class
1084 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1087 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1088 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1090 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1091 * Moose::Unsweetened
1092 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1095 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1096 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1097 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1098 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1099 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1100 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1103 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1104 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1105 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1106 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1107 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1108 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1109 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1110 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1111 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1113 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1115 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1116 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1118 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1119 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1120 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1121 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1124 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1125 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1126 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1127 same methods for a single role did not work
1128 right (worked just fine with multiple
1130 - added test for this (stevan)
1132 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1133 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1134 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1137 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1138 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1139 - added test for this (t0m)
1142 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1143 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1144 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1147 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1148 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1149 - added test for this (t0m)
1151 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1152 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1153 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1154 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1155 - added test for this (perigrin)
1158 - create method for constructing a role
1159 dynamically (Sartak)
1160 - added test for this (Sartak)
1161 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1162 - added test for this (Sartak)
1165 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1167 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1168 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1169 methods is useful (Sartak)
1171 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1173 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1176 * Moose::Meta::Class
1177 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1178 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1179 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1180 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1181 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1182 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1185 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1186 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1188 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1189 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1190 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1191 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1192 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1194 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1196 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1197 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1201 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1202 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1203 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1204 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1205 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1206 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1209 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1210 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1211 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1212 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1213 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1214 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1215 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1216 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1217 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1218 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1219 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1221 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1222 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1226 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1227 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1228 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1229 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1231 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1233 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1234 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1235 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1237 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1238 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1240 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1241 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1242 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1243 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1246 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1247 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1249 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1251 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1252 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Class
1255 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1256 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1257 a required attribute
1259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1260 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1261 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1262 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1265 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1268 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1269 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1270 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1271 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1272 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1273 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1274 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1276 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1277 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1278 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1280 * Roles and role application
1281 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1282 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1283 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1284 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1285 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1287 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1288 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1291 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1292 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1293 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1294 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1295 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1298 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1299 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1300 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1301 changes in the Moose internals.
1303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1305 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1309 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1310 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1311 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1313 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1314 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1315 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1316 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1319 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1320 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1321 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1322 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1323 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1324 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1325 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1326 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1327 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1328 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1329 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1330 constraint implementations.
1332 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1336 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1337 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1338 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1339 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1340 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1341 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1342 - added tests for this (rafl)
1344 * Moose::Meta::Class
1345 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1346 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1347 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1348 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1349 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1350 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1351 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1352 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1355 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1356 - added tests for this (thepler)
1358 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1359 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1360 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1361 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1364 * Moose::Meta::Class
1365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1366 * Moose::Meta::Method
1369 * Moose::Error::Default
1370 * Moose::Error::Croak
1371 * Moose::Error::Confess
1372 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1373 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1374 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1375 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1376 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1377 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1379 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1381 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1382 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1384 * Moose::Unsweetened
1385 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1386 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1387 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1389 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1390 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1391 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1392 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1393 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1396 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1397 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1399 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1400 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1401 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1402 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1441 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1442 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1444 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1445 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1448 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1449 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1450 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1451 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1452 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1453 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1456 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1458 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1460 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1461 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

1478 - added test for this (t0m)
1480 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1481 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1482 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1484 - added test for this (t0m)
1487 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1488 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1489 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1492 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1493 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1495 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1498 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1500 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1532 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1534 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1535 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1536 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1537 created so that the process can be more easily
1538 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1576 ... this is not my day today ...
1578 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1579 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1580 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1581 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1582 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1585 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1586 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1587 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1588 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1589 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1592 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1594 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1595 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1624 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1627 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1628 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1629 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1630 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1631 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1632 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1633 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1634 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1635 - added tests for this
1637 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1638 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1639 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1740 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1741 - added more descriptive error message to help
1742 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1743 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1745 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1747 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1748 XS based functionality is now optional
1749 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1750 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1751 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1828 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1829 eating the $@ values, and so not
1830 working correctly, it still kind of
1831 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1832 - added tests for this

1854 drink more coffee before
1855 doing release engineering
1857 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1972 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1974 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2014 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2016 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2017 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2018 when the method cannot be found, not sure why

2181 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2182 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

2223 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2226 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2227 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2228 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2229 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2246 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2265 - added tests for this
2268 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2269 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2308 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2311 - fixed how required methods are handled
2312 when they encounter overriden or modified
2313 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2314 - added tests for this
2316 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2317 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2318 the | always creates a union and so is
2319 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2320 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2322 - added more tests for this
2324 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2327 * Parameterized Types
2328 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2329 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2330 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2331 They can also be nested:
2332 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2333 And work with the type unions as well:
2334 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2336 * Better Framework Extendability
2337 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2338 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2339 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2340 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2343 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2344 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2345 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2346 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2349 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2351 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2352 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2505 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2506 prototypes for functions
2507 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2508 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2580 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2581 so that you can actually document your
2582 attributes and inspect them through the

2586 * Moose::Meta::Class
2587 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2588 it will first look in for the class in the
2589 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2590 then default to just loading $name.
2591 - added tests and docs for this
2593 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2594 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2595 - added test for this

2600 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2601 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2603 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2604 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2607 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2609 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2610 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2611 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2614 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2615 !! for this developer release to work !!
2617 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2618 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2619 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2620 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2621 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2622 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2623 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2624 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2625 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2626 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2627 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2629 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2630 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2631 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2632 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2635 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2636 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2637 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2638 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2639 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2641 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2643 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2644 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2647 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2648 called unless they actually need to be.
2649 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2650 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2651 DEMOLISH method present.
2653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2655 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2656 type constraint, which allows for a
2657 hand optimized version of the type
2658 constraint to be used when possible.
2659 - Any internally created type constraints
2660 now provide an optimized version as well.
2662 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2664 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2665 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2666 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2669 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2670 your class namespace of these exported
2673 * Moose::Meta::Class
2674 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2675 comes up during global destruction
2677 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2681 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2684 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2685 - changed how we do type checks so that
2686 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2689 - moved accessor generation methods to
2690 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2691 conform to the API changes from
2694 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2695 - changed how constraints are compiled
2696 so that we do less recursion and more
2697 iteration. This makes the type check
2699 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2702 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2703 - created this from methods formerly found in
2704 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2706 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2707 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2709 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2710 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2713 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2715 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2718 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2719 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2720 - added tests for this
2721 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2722 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2723 broke predicates in an ugly way.

2726 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2728 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2729 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2730 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2733 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2734 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2735 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2737 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2738 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2739 comments for more info.
2742 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2743 asked questions and common problems
2745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2746 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2747 - added tests for this
2749 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2750 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2751 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2752 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2754 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2755 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2758 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2759 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2760 is much appreciated :)
2761 - added tests for this
2763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2764 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2765 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2769 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2771 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2773 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2774 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2778 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2779 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2780 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2782 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2784 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2787 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2788 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2789 keywords because we need to localize them.
2790 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2792 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2793 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2794 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2797 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2800 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2801 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2802 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2805 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2806 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2807 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2809 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2811 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2812 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2813 bottom of your class file.
2816 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2819 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2821 - improved error message when loading modules so
2822 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2823 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2824 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2827 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2828 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2829 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2832 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2834 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2835 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2836 turn them on for you.
2837 - added tests for this
2838 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2839 in Moose::Meta::Class
2842 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2843 automatically turned on for you.

2847 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2848 - added tests for this

2865 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2866 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2867 - This release works in combination with
2868 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2869 release because it uses the a new
2870 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2871 complete Role implementation. It has
2872 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2873 the the previous CPAN version. This
2874 release also lacks good updated docs,
2875 the official release will have updated docs.
2878 - refactored the keyword exports
2879 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2880 accepts more than one Role at a time
2881 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2882 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2885 - refactored the keyword exports
2886 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2887 accepts more than one Role at a time
2889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2890 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2891 string enumerations which can be used as
2893 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2896 - more careful checking of params to new()
2899 - much work done on the role composition
2900 - many new tests for conflict detection
2901 and composition edge cases
2902 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2903 looking at the tests
2905 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2906 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2907 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2909 * Moose::Meta::Class
2910 - some small changes to support the new
2912 - some small additions to support Roles
2914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2915 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2917 - some small changes to support the new
2919 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2920 with the 'handles' option
2921 - added several tests for this
2922 - no docs for this yet
2924 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2926 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2927 thanks to chansen for this commit
2928 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2929 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2930 on a per-attribute basis
2931 - added tests for this
2932 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2933 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2934 experimental feature and probably not finished
2935 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2936 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2937 - added tests for this

2999 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3001 - added test for this
