1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
10 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
14 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
16 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
17 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
22 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
23 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
25 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
26 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
27 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
28 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
31 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
32 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
33 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
34 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
36 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
40 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
41 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
46 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
48 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
50 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
55 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
57 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
61 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
62 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
63 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
65 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
66 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
67 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
68 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
70 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
71 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
72 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
73 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
74 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
77 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
82 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
83 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
84 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
85 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
86 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
89 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
93 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
96 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
97 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
101 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
102 function (not just method). (doy)
106 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
107 and aren't easily installable/testable.
109 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
113 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
114 to be overridden more easily (doy).
116 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
120 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
121 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
123 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
127 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
128 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
129 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
131 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
135 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
136 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
137 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
139 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
140 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
144 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
145 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
147 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
148 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
152 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
153 is applied to a class (t0m).
155 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
156 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
158 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
161 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
162 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
164 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
165 be much more robust. (doy)
167 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
169 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
172 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
176 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
177 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
179 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
183 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
184 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
186 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
189 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
190 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
191 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
193 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
194 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
195 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
198 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
200 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
204 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
205 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
209 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
211 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
216 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
220 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
221 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
225 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
227 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
231 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
232 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
236 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
237 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
241 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
242 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
244 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
248 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
249 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
250 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
253 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
257 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
258 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
259 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
260 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
262 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
266 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
267 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
268 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
272 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
275 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
280 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
281 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
285 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
286 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
288 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
289 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
290 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
291 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
293 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
297 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
301 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
302 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
304 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
305 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
306 - Moose::Util::does_role
307 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
308 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
309 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
311 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
315 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
316 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
317 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
320 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
324 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
325 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
328 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
332 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
333 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
336 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
340 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
342 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
343 class. (Dave Rolsky).
345 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
346 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
347 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
349 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
350 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
351 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
354 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
355 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
357 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
358 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
359 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
361 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
363 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
364 substr et al, again. (sorear)
366 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
368 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
371 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
372 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
374 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
375 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
377 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
378 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
379 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
380 dependencies installed.
382 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
383 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
386 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
388 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
392 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
395 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
396 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
399 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
400 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
402 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
403 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
406 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
407 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
408 others. (nothingmuch)
410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
411 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
412 remove_accessors. (doy)
414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
415 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
416 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
418 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
419 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
421 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
422 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
423 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
424 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
427 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
428 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
430 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
431 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
433 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
435 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
436 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
440 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
441 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
442 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
443 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
445 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
446 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
448 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
449 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
450 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
451 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
454 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
455 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
456 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
457 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
458 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
460 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
461 which were not receiving the value of
462 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
463 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
464 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
465 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
469 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
470 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
471 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
472 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
473 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
477 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
478 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
479 - added tests for this (Stevan)
482 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
483 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
484 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
487 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
489 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
492 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
493 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
496 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
497 class if you pass it options for
498 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
499 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
500 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
501 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
502 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
503 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
504 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
505 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
506 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
508 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
509 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
510 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
511 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
512 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
515 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
517 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
518 existing delegation API. (hdp)
520 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
521 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
522 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
523 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
524 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
525 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
528 * Moose::Error::Croak
529 * Moose::Error::Confess
530 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
531 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
534 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
537 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
538 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
539 installing a broken sub. (doy)
542 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
545 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
546 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
547 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
549 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
550 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
551 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
552 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
553 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
555 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
556 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
559 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
561 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
562 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
565 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
566 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
569 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
570 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
571 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
573 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
574 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
575 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
576 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
577 using it for new code!
579 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
580 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
581 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
582 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
584 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
585 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
586 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
587 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
588 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
589 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
590 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
591 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
594 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
597 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
598 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
602 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
605 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
606 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
609 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
610 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
611 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
614 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
615 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
617 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
618 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
619 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
622 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
624 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
625 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
626 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
627 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
629 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
631 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
635 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
636 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
638 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
639 associated_methods. (hdp)
640 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
641 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
642 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
643 misspelled) arguments
645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
646 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
647 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
648 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
650 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
651 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
652 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
654 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
657 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
658 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
659 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
662 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
663 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
665 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
667 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
668 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
670 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
671 * Moose::Manual::Types
672 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
673 string parsing rathole (mst)
675 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
676 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
677 using plain objects instead
679 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
680 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
683 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
685 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
686 three times today (perigrin)
687 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
688 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
691 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
692 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
693 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
696 - A role's required methods are now represented by
697 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
698 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
699 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
700 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
701 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
704 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
705 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
706 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
707 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
710 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
712 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
715 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
717 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
720 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
721 during global destruction. This method has been made more
722 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
726 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
727 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
730 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
731 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
733 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
734 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
735 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
738 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
740 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
741 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
744 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
748 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
749 methods during global destruction (doy)
752 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
753 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
757 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
758 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
761 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
762 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
765 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
766 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
768 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
770 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
774 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
775 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
776 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
779 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
780 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
781 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
784 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
786 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
787 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
788 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
791 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
792 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
793 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
794 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
796 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
797 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
798 of the Moose core (Sartak)
801 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
804 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
805 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
806 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
810 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
811 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
814 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
816 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
819 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
820 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
823 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
824 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
827 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
828 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
831 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
834 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
837 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
841 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
843 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
844 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
847 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
848 * More deprecations and renamings
849 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
850 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
851 when an object is constructed)
854 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
855 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
856 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
859 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
860 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
861 feature, and it works again.
864 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
866 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
868 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
869 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
870 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
872 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
873 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
874 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
875 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
876 message. Test provided by perigrin.
878 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
879 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
880 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
881 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
882 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
885 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
886 metaclass object. (hdp)
888 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
889 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
890 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
891 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
892 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
893 point out this fact. (hdp)
895 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
896 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
898 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
899 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
903 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
904 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
905 called during instance construction were passed the
906 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
907 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
909 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
910 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
913 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
914 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
915 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
918 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
919 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
920 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
921 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
922 them, but they are not for "public" use.
925 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
927 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
928 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
929 when an object is constructed)
930 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
932 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
933 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
934 when an object is constructed)
935 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
936 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
937 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
940 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
942 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
943 * No changes from 0.72_01.
945 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
947 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
948 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
949 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
951 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
952 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
953 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
955 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
957 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
958 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
960 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
961 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
964 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
965 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
968 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
969 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
970 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
973 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
977 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
978 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
979 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
981 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
982 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
985 * Moose::Manual::Delta
986 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
987 with recommended workarounds.
989 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
990 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
992 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
993 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
994 (yes, spelled like that).
996 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
997 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1000 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1001 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1003 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1005 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1006 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1007 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1008 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1009 instead. Reported by doy.
1011 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1013 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1014 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1016 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1017 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1018 message) is now deprecated.
1019 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1020 often got it wrong. For example:
1022 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1024 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1028 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1029 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1030 bite you in weird cases.
1032 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1033 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1034 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1035 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1038 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1042 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1045 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1046 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1049 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1050 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1052 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1053 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1056 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1057 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1058 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1059 - added tests for this (stevan)
1061 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1062 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1063 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1064 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1068 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1069 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1070 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1071 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1073 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1074 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1075 - added tests for this (rafl)
1077 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1078 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1079 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1080 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1084 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1085 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1088 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1089 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1090 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1092 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1094 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1095 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1097 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1098 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1099 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1100 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1101 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1104 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1105 error message did not specify the attribute name
1108 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1110 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1112 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1113 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1114 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1117 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1120 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1122 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1123 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1124 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1125 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1127 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1129 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1130 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1131 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1132 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1135 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1136 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1139 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1140 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1141 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1142 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1145 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1146 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1147 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1148 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1151 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1152 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1153 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1154 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1155 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1157 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1158 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1159 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1160 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1161 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1162 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1164 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1165 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1167 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1168 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1169 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1170 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1173 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1176 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1180 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1181 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1183 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1184 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1185 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1186 guts. (nothingmuch).
1188 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1190 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1193 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1194 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1195 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1197 * Moose::Meta::Class
1198 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1201 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1202 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1204 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1205 * Moose::Unsweetened
1206 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1209 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1210 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1211 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1212 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1213 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1214 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1217 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1218 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1219 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1220 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1221 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1222 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1223 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1224 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1225 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1227 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1229 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1230 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1232 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1233 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1234 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1235 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1237 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1238 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1239 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1240 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1241 same methods for a single role did not work
1242 right (worked just fine with multiple
1244 - added test for this (stevan)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1247 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1248 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1251 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1252 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1253 - added test for this (t0m)
1256 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1257 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1258 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1261 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1262 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1263 - added test for this (t0m)
1265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1266 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1267 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1268 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1269 - added test for this (perigrin)
1272 - create method for constructing a role
1273 dynamically (Sartak)
1274 - added test for this (Sartak)
1275 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1276 - added test for this (Sartak)
1279 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1281 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1282 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1283 methods is useful (Sartak)
1285 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1287 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1290 * Moose::Meta::Class
1291 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1292 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1293 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1294 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1295 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1299 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1300 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1302 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1303 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1304 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1305 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1306 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1308 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1310 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1311 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1312 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1315 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1316 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1317 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1318 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1319 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1320 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1324 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1325 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1326 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1327 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1328 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1329 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1330 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1331 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1332 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1333 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1335 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1336 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1340 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1341 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1342 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1343 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1345 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1347 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1348 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1349 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1351 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1352 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1355 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1356 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1357 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1360 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1361 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1363 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1365 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1366 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1368 * Moose::Meta::Class
1369 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1370 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1371 a required attribute
1373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1374 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1375 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1376 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1378 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1379 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1381 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1382 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1383 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1384 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1385 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1386 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1387 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1388 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1390 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1391 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1392 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1394 * Roles and role application
1395 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1396 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1397 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1398 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1399 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1401 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1402 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1405 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1406 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1407 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1408 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1409 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1412 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1413 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1414 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1415 changes in the Moose internals.
1417 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1418 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1419 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1422 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1423 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1424 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1425 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1428 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1429 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1430 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1433 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1434 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1435 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1436 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1437 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1438 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1439 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1440 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1441 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1442 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1443 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1444 constraint implementations.
1446 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1450 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1451 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1452 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1453 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1454 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1455 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1456 - added tests for this (rafl)
1458 * Moose::Meta::Class
1459 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1460 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1461 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1462 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1463 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1464 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1465 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1466 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1469 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1470 - added tests for this (thepler)
1472 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1473 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1474 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1475 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1478 * Moose::Meta::Class
1479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1480 * Moose::Meta::Method
1483 * Moose::Error::Default
1484 * Moose::Error::Croak
1485 * Moose::Error::Confess
1486 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1487 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1488 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1489 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1490 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1491 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1493 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1495 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1496 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1498 * Moose::Unsweetened
1499 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1500 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1501 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1504 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1505 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1506 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1507 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1510 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1511 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1513 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1514 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1515 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1516 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1519 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1521 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1522 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1524 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1527 - Various bug fixes.

1534 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1535 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1537 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1538 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1539 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

1542 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1543 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

1551 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1552 dependency to 0.64_07.
1554 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1555 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1556 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1558 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1559 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1563 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1564 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1565 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1566 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1567 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1569 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1570 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1572 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1574 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1575 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1579 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1580 method when that method was provided by another role being
1581 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1582 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1584 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1592 - added test for this (t0m)
1594 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1595 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1596 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1598 - added test for this (t0m)
1601 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1602 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1603 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1606 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1607 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1609 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1611 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1612 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1614 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1615 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1616 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1618 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1619 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1622 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1623 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

1625 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1629 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1630 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1631 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1635 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1636 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

1640 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1644 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1650 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1651 created so that the process can be more easily

1686 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1687 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1689 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1690 ... this is not my day today ...
1692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1693 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1694 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1695 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1696 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1699 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1700 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1701 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1702 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1703 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1706 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1708 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1709 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1710 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1711 this is not ever something you want to do
1712 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1713 - added tests for this (stevan)
1716 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1718 - added test for this

1727 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1730 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1731 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1734 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1736 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1738 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1741 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1742 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1743 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1744 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1745 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1746 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1747 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1748 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1749 - added tests for this
1751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1752 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1753 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1754 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1825 which was causing the indexer to choke
1827 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1828 (late night release engineering)--
1830 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1831 changes in this release

1843 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1844 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1847 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1848 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1849 method for immutablization to check if the
1850 destructor object even needs to be created
1853 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1854 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1855 - added more descriptive error message to help
1856 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1857 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1859 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1861 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1862 XS based functionality is now optional
1863 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1864 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1865 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1867 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1868 to take care of this, mostly we added
1869 support for the package_name and name
1870 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1871 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1872 support regexp matching of names
1873 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1874 - tests added for this
1875 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1876 is currently not supported in roles,
1877 but, ... patches welcome
1878 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1879 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1880 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1884 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1885 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1886 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1887 same array ref form that Moose.pm does

1889 - added test for this
1891 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1892 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1893 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1896 * Moose::Meta::Class
1897 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1901 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1903 - added tests for this
1904 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1905 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1913 called by the inlined immutable
1915 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1917 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1918 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1919 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1920 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1922 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1923 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1935 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1938 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1939 ->body when looping through the
1940 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1942 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1943 eating the $@ values, and so not
1944 working correctly, it still kind of
1945 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1946 - added tests for this
1948 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1949 - added new recipe for immutable
1950 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1968 drink more coffee before
1969 doing release engineering
1971 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2083 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2084 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2086 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2088 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2089 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2090 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2091 officially support it.
2092 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2093 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2128 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2131 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2132 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2133 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2134 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2136 - added more delegation tests
2137 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2138 support traits and their introspection.
2139 - added tests for this

2379 - added tests for this
2382 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2383 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2422 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2425 - fixed how required methods are handled
2426 when they encounter overriden or modified
2427 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2428 - added tests for this
2430 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2431 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2432 the | always creates a union and so is
2433 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2434 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2436 - added more tests for this
2438 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2441 * Parameterized Types
2442 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2443 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2444 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2445 They can also be nested:
2446 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2447 And work with the type unions as well:
2448 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2450 * Better Framework Extendability
2451 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2452 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2453 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2454 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2457 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2458 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2459 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2460 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2705 - added tests and docs for this
2707 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2708 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2709 - added test for this

2714 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2715 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2717 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2718 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2721 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2723 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2724 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2725 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2728 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2729 !! for this developer release to work !!
2731 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2732 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2733 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2734 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2735 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2736 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2737 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2738 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2739 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2740 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2741 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2743 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2744 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2745 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2746 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2749 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2750 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2751 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2752 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2753 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2755 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2757 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2758 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2761 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2762 called unless they actually need to be.
2763 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2764 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2765 DEMOLISH method present.
2767 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2769 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2770 type constraint, which allows for a
2771 hand optimized version of the type
2772 constraint to be used when possible.
2773 - Any internally created type constraints
2774 now provide an optimized version as well.
2776 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2778 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2779 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2780 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2783 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2784 your class namespace of these exported
2787 * Moose::Meta::Class
2788 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2789 comes up during global destruction
2791 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2795 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2799 - changed how we do type checks so that
2800 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2803 - moved accessor generation methods to
2804 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2805 conform to the API changes from
2808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2809 - changed how constraints are compiled
2810 so that we do less recursion and more
2811 iteration. This makes the type check
2813 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2817 - created this from methods formerly found in
2818 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2820 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2821 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2823 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2824 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2827 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2829 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2832 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2833 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2834 - added tests for this
2835 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2836 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2837 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2838 - removed tests for this
2840 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2842 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2843 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2844 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2847 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2848 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2849 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2851 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2852 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2853 comments for more info.
2856 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2857 asked questions and common problems
2859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2860 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2861 - added tests for this
2863 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2864 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2865 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2866 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2868 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2869 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2872 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2873 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2874 is much appreciated :)
2875 - added tests for this
2877 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2878 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2879 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2882 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2883 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2885 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2887 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2888 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2892 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2893 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2894 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2896 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2898 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2901 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2902 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2903 keywords because we need to localize them.
2904 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2906 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2907 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2908 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2911 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2914 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2915 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2916 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2919 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2920 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2921 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2923 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2925 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2926 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2927 bottom of your class file.
2930 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2933 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2935 - improved error message when loading modules so
2936 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2937 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2938 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2941 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2942 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2943 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2945 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2946 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2948 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2949 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2950 turn them on for you.
2951 - added tests for this
2952 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2953 in Moose::Meta::Class
2956 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2957 automatically turned on for you.

2979 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2980 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2981 - This release works in combination with
2982 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2983 release because it uses the a new
2984 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2985 complete Role implementation. It has
2986 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2987 the the previous CPAN version. This
2988 release also lacks good updated docs,
2989 the official release will have updated docs.
2992 - refactored the keyword exports
2993 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2994 accepts more than one Role at a time

2996 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2999 - refactored the keyword exports
3000 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3001 accepts more than one Role at a time
3003 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3004 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3005 string enumerations which can be used as
3007 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3010 - more careful checking of params to new()
3013 - much work done on the role composition
3014 - many new tests for conflict detection
3015 and composition edge cases
3016 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3017 looking at the tests
3019 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3020 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3021 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3023 * Moose::Meta::Class
3024 - some small changes to support the new
3026 - some small additions to support Roles
3028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3029 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3031 - some small changes to support the new
3033 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3034 with the 'handles' option
3035 - added several tests for this
3036 - no docs for this yet
3038 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3040 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3041 thanks to chansen for this commit
3042 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3043 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3044 on a per-attribute basis
3045 - added tests for this
3046 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3047 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3048 experimental feature and probably not finished

3050 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3051 - added tests for this

3113 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3115 - added test for this
3118 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
